Dairy Free Creamy Almond Curry Sauce (dairy free, vegan, raw)




This curry sauce can be made raw or cooked.  Both taste great! Try this over veggies, as a soup or if your diet allows, some sprouted brown rice.

Dairy Free Creamy Almond Curry Sauce 

Ingredients:

1c almonds, soaked 8 hours or overnight (or sub 1/2c pistachios for 1/2cAlmonds)

1/2  of a med onion diced, for raw sauce choose a sweeter onion like a Vildalia Onion(or try this tip:  Soak chopped onion in ice cold water for 10 min before adding.  It will mellow it's bite)

2-3  tsp ginger peeled & grated(about a 2 inche chunk of ginger)

1 or 2  garlic cloves minced

2-3  Tsp curry powder (or more to taste)

1-2  cups liquid:  coconut milk, vegetable broth, saffron broth or water
(Saffron Broth:  1/2 tsp saffron threads soaked in 1 cup water. 

1/4  coconut oil, or ghee(not vegan), other oil of choice

3/4tsp Sea salt(to taste) or about 2TBLS Braggs Amino Acids)

Granny Smith Apples diced/soaked raisins(optional)

Option: Blend in a medium sized banana for a sweeter curry

Directions:

Place the soaked almonds(or nut mixture), onion, ginger, garlic in a blender.  Add enough liquid of choice to cover them, blend till creamy(add more liquid as needed).

Add the curry, oil, salt/Braggs, (banana, optional) blend then remove mixture from blender.

Add the optional Granny Smith apples and/or raisins here, continue below for cooked or raw instructions...

Cooked Curry Dish Instructions:  Place curry in a crock pot or sauce pan on low and simmer for 20 min or more.  I find the crock pot to be the easiest.  

Raw Curry Dish Instructions: Put the curry sauce in a dehydrator for at least 2 hours until warm to the touch, below 112 degrees.
