CREAMY CASHEW CHICKEN CURRY
Mooove over, real cream - this curry is made rich and creamy with (cow-free) cashew cream, which is remarkably similar to heavy cream in appearance, taste, and in-sauce behavior. In fact, cashew cream actually thickens up faster. You won't need anything too exotic, besides maybe garam masala, to make this straightforward recipe. Garnish with whole cashews, lime wedges, and cilantro. Serve with rice, garlic naan, or both!

Steps:
- Mix salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, and garam masala together in a small bowl.

CASHEW-CURRY CHICKEN SALAD
My husband and I fell hard for the curried chicken salad from our grocery store deli, and I knew I could find a way to make something similar. This greek yogurt chicken salad has become one of our favorites to take on trips to the beach. -Janine Cooper-Moren, Portland, Oregon

CHICKEN AND CASHEW NUT CURRY
This recipe comes from Forever Summer by Nigella Lawson. Serve with a bowlful of basmati rice and some flat bread. I also think you could make most of this ahead, if you do not stir the cashews in until you reheat the chicken curry mixture. I have decreased the water a bit from the original and still wonder if it is has too much liquid.

CASHEW CHERRY CURRY CHICKEN SALAD
I'm a southern cook so I season to taste. When I don't have an exact measurement, don't worry, just add spices a little at a time so your palate will tell you what tastes yummy! You can make a sandwich or put it over a bed of lettuce. My favorite is on a croissant. Just try it...you'll love it!

Steps:
- 1. Boil 3 large chicken breasts for 35-45 minutes. Cool and remove skin. Pull chicken off of bone and tear into bite-size pieces.
- 2. In a large bowl add the chicken pieces, diced red onion, chopped celery, dried cherries and cashew pieces.
- 3. Add enough mayonnaise to bind the ingredients together without making it goopy. I start with 1/2 cup and then add a little more at a time so I don't overdo it.
- 4. Add the curry. You may want to add it in slowly so you can taste test the strength of the curry. I add 2-3 pinches, mix, then more if I want it stronger. (I use the Sri Lankan curry blend which contains coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, cloves and other spices. You can get it at www.spice-appeal.com if you're interested or use your own type of curry.)
- 5. Add salt and white pepper to taste. I use white pepper because I love it but you can use black if you prefer.
CASHEW CHICKEN FINGERS WITH CURRY MAYONNAISE
Crispy chicken fingers coated with cashews dipped in spicy curry mayonnaise - yum!! This will serve 4 person as an appetizer, although we did polish off everything between the both of us! NOTE: Measure the cashews before chopping them (I use the PULSE button on my Tefal grinder). I find it's easier to use a pair of chopsticks to roll the chicken in chopped nuts, then transfer to baking pan.

Steps:
- Combine the first 7 ingredients together in a shallow plate/bowl/ziplock bag; mix well.
- Coat the chicken strips with the flour mixture by placing them into the ziplock bag and shaking it, or using chopsticks to dredge them in the plate.
- Lightly beat the egg (I put it in a wide soup bowl/plate; it's easier for dipping).
- Shaking off excess flour, dip the chicken fingers in the beaten egg.
- Immediately, roll the chicken in the crushed cashews to coat; set the nut-coated chicken onto lightly oiled baking pan.
- Repeat with remaining chicken.
- You may now bake the chicken fingers or chill it in the fridge for a few hours until you're ready to cook (chilling may help the coating to adhere better).
- Just before baking, drizzle melted butter/oil over chicken and bake in preheated oven at 400°F / 210°C for 10-15mins, until cooked through and golden brown.
- To make sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- You may also serve the chicken fingers with ketchup or sweet Thai chili sauce.

MURG MUMTAZ (INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY WITH MILD CASHEW NUT CURRY)
A rich and creamy gravy which can be served with pilaf or any Indian bread. Preparation time includes the time required for the chicken to marinate. NOTE: According to the original recipe, the cream is to be added to the gravy before pouring it onto the chicken. But since the chicken still needs to cook a bit more after adding the gravy, I add it at the end to prevent the cream from curdling.
