Rich,delish and super tempting Combo Curry.Luv it
I’ve seen green peas used a lot as an accent to curry dishes but never as the main ingredient. Combined with the cashews and all those wonderful spices this dish is a MUST to try! Thanks for sharing!

I’d never really thought about what they eat in Sri Lanka.
I love curry (and cashews and peas…) but I don’t think I even have any in my spice rack! I think it’s high time I got some!!
