Sauté the shallots in the butter or oil, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the curry, lemon, turmeric, chiles, garlic, ginger, and salt, and cook until fragrant, 5-10 minutes.

| Notes |
*The original recipe calls for the cashews to be soaked for 6 hours and then simmered for about 15 minutes until they are tender. I think this is unnecessary; in fact, I prefer crunchy cashews in my curry. Adapted from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. |
