Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 3 large carrots
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon (grated) ginger
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
- 1 medium (for juice, optional) lime
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces (roughly 1-inch). Set aside.
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the curry powder, ground turmeric, and red chili flakes. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Add the potatoes and carrots to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the skillet and let the vegetables simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the coconut milk. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer gently for another 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fully tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if desired.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve warm with steamed rice, naan, or as a standalone dish. Enjoy!
