Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (about 14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric to the pan. Cook the spices, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to enhance their flavors.
Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk and stir to combine with the spices.
Add the low-sodium vegetable broth and black pepper to the mixture, stirring well.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lime juice.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Adjust seasoning if necessary, though the low-sodium version is designed to minimize added salt.
