  • If you have time, heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 3 minutes, then add minced garlic and fresh ginger.
  • In the slow cooker, add diced potatoes, chickpeas, frozen peas, chopped bell pepper, jalapeño, tomato purée, fire-roasted tomatoes, and the spice blend.
  • Cover and cook on High for 4 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
  • While the curry cooks, soak cashews in water for at least 20 minutes. Drain and blend with 3/4 cup of water until smooth and creamy.
