📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.

2. Once the oil is warm, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

3. Stir in the yellow curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release its flavors.

4. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine the curry paste and liquids.

5. Add the diced potatoes and carrots first, as they take longer to cook, and simmer for 10 minutes.

6. After 10 minutes, add the zucchini, red bell pepper, and any other quick-cooking vegetables you’re using. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

7. Stir in the soy sauce (or tamari), brown sugar, and freshly squeezed lime juice for added depth of flavor.

8. Taste the curry and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce, lime juice, or sugar to balance the flavors.

9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve the curry hot over cooked jasmine rice.
