- 2 tablespoons Yellow curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the yellow curry powder, ground turmeric, coriander powder, ground cumin, and optional cayenne pepper. Stir the spices constantly for about 30 seconds to toast them and bring out their aroma.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth, mixing well to combine the spices into the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro right before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
