  2. Prepare the rice according to the instructions. Roast the cashews in a pan and let cool.
  3. Heat 6 tbsp of rapeseed oil in a wok. Sauté the onions, garlic and chilis until the onions are lightly brown. Add curry, cinnamon and the vegetables and shortly sauté with high heat.
  4. Reduce the heat, add soy sauce and coconut milk and season with vegetable broth, pepper, salt, sugar and cilantro. Let cook for 15 minutes, potentially add some more water.
  5. As desired: Meanwhile, rinse vegan king prawns with cold water, dab dry and fry for two minutes in 2 tbsp of rapeseed oil (consider instructions on package). Possibly season with garlic. Serve the vegetable curry with the vegan king prawns and rice. Sprinkle with roasted cashews.
