Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 13.5-ounce can coconut milk
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 medium, thinly sliced carrots
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh cilantro
- (optional, for serving) cooked rice or naan
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the onion mixture in the spices.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and diced zucchini to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the curry sauce.
Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the lid and fold in the baby spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot over cooked rice or with naan bread.
