Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 240 ml Vegetable broth (low-sodium)
- 1 Yellow onion (medium size, finely chopped)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
- 2 tbsp Yellow curry powder
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 Zucchini (chopped small, or 1 small carrot as an alternative for natural sweetness)
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil (or coconut oil)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Heat the avocado oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the saucepan. Cook for another minute, stirring to prevent burning.
Stir in the yellow curry powder, turmeric powder, ground coriander, and optional red chili flakes. Toast the spices for 1 minute to release their aromas.
Add the chopped zucchini (or carrot) to the saucepan and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Simmer the sauce over low-medium heat for 10-12 minutes, allowing the zucchini (or carrot) to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding a splash more vegetable broth.
Serve the sugar-free yellow curry sauce over your choice of protein, vegetables, or rice. Enjoy!
