Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the cumin seeds, coriander powder, ground turmeric, ground paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well, allowing the spices to toast slightly, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including the juice, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Stir in the coconut milk, ensuring it is well combined with the tomato mixture. Simmer for another 10 minutes over low heat, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Add the chopped fresh basil leaves, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well and let the curry cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the basil to infuse its flavor into the curry.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot as a main dish or alongside cauliflower rice for a completely paleo meal.
