Instructions
Begin by washing the bell peppers and carrot thoroughly.
Slice the bell peppers into thin strips and the carrot into matchsticks or thin slices. Set aside.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, sauté the garlic and ginger for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers and carrot to the skillet and stir fry them for 5-6 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
Stir in the curry powder, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.
Slowly pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine with the curry-coated vegetables.
Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Add the unsalted roasted cashews and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing them to warm through.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the Bell Pepper and Cashew Coconut Curry Stir Fry over a bed of cooked jasmine or basmati rice.
