Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, ground coriander, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic evenly with the spices, cooking for another minute.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the lime juice and salt, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Remove the sauce from heat and use a blender or immersion blender to puree the sauce until it's smooth and creamy.
Return to the pan if needed and warm through.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
