There are a couple of options to make it creamy without cream Option 1: using cornstarch slurry - dissolve 1/2 tsp cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water and add it instead of cream. Mix it on low heat, stirring continuously until the curry has thickened. This makes it thick and creamy without addding calories. Option 2 - use just cashew poppy seed paste along with milk and skip cream.
