Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons mild curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 1 14-ounce can coconut milk (full-fat)
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the curry powder, turmeric, allspice, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir for 30 seconds to gently toast the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Stir in the lime juice, brown sugar, and salt. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro for a fresh, herbal finish.

Step 9
