Notes

  • You can either soak the cashews in plenty of water for 8-12 hours, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes or boil them in water for about 10 minutes. This will help soften them and will be more blend-able. Drain and rinse before transferring to the blender.
  • Store this sauce in a air-tight container for up to 4 days.
  • To eat, simply reheat and combine to your dish.
