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, sautΓ© 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.

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
