In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the wok, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the cashews lightly before soaking.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat.
Serve this delightful korma over fluffy basmati rice or naan bread, garnished with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
