Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat or light)
- 2 tablespoons Yellow curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Unsalted vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the yellow curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander, cooking for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
Pour in the coconut milk and unsalted vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the lime juice, maple syrup (if using), and ground black pepper, stirring well.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed (you can add more lime juice or a touch of sweetness if desired, but avoid adding salt to keep the sauce low sodium).
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the curry sauce warm over steamed vegetables, tofu, or rice, or use it as a base for your favorite protein dish.
