Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 whole yellow onion
- 3 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 3 tbsp yellow curry paste
- 14 oz coconut milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 whole mango
- 0.33 cup roasted cashews
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 cup jasmine rice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
Saute the Aromatics
Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of coconut oil. Saute the diced onion for 2 to 3 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Build the Curry Sauce
Stir in the yellow curry paste and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the full can of coconut milk and the vegetable broth. Add the soy sauce or tamari and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add Vegetables and Simmer
Add the diced red bell pepper and let the curry simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes until the pepper is just tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Fold in Mango and Cashews
Gently fold in the diced mango and roasted cashews. Cook for 2 more minutes just to warm everything through. Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce, salt, or a squeeze of lime.
Serve over Rice
Ladle the curry over steamed jasmine or basmati rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and extra cashews if desired.
