The cashews make the sauce and add a delicious crunch to this dish. Our Kala Masala spice blend adds another layer of rich sweetness and toasty flavor. Coconut, star anise, cinnamon and clove. Perfect for fall and winter vegetables. Serve this up with basmati rice or naan and you wont miss the meat in this vegan meal.

Kala Masala is an Indian spice blend, named for the dark color of its ingredients, which are often toasted before use. Sweet spices like Cloves and tangy Amchoor make this blend an excellent seasoning on seafood, and especially good on shellfish.We used Kala Masala as the signature flavor in these shrimp cakes, which have sweet potato and rice as the binder and a coconut crust. That also makes them gluten free, for those keeping score. The Rooster Spice aioli, which we whipped up as a dipping sauce, takes no time at all. It's spicy and just a little bit sweet: the perfect accompaniment to these tasty appetizers.

This savory cornbread knocked our collective socks off at first bite. Our Kala Masala spice blend is a complex one, and that complexity of flavor transfers easily to the skillet cornbread. There's a tiny bit of heat from some guajillo chiles in the blend that is balanced perfectly by a healthy dose of toasted coconut for sweetness. Try it with a fish, lentil or vegetable soup for maximum enjoyment!
