Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup cashews
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ½ teaspoon garlic
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch turmeric
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon oil

Instructions
 

  • Blitz the cashews in a blender jar until you get a coarse mixture. Add the fresh ginger and garlic and blitz again.
  • Next, add the cilantro, turmeric, sugar, salt, oil, vinegar and tamarind paste.
  • Blend till you get a gritty mixture that has a sauce-like consistency.
  • Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Need to bulk up the sauce? Add a whole avocado into the mix.
  • If you can't find tamarind paste, use freshly squeezed lime juice to get that tangy, sour flavor.
  • I kept the sauce simple and let the tangy-sweet flavor shine though. If you want to add a kick of heat, use some hot pepper vinegar or add some fresh jalapenos or jalapeno flakes into the mix.
  • Got some extra cashews? Whip up a nice cashew basil Pesto to use for your pastas and Italian favorites.
