- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the fresh ginger.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Stir gently for 1-2 minutes to let the spices toast slightly.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine the spices and liquids.
Add the brown sugar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to integrate all flavors.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it cook gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as preferred.
Serve warm over your choice of protein or vegetables.
