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

Directions

Step 1

Heat the avocado oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the saucepan. Cook for another minute, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the chopped zucchini (or carrot) to the saucepan and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding a splash more vegetable broth.

Step 10

Serve the sugar-free yellow curry sauce over your choice of protein, vegetables, or rice. Enjoy!
