Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the curry powder, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice.
- Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and the sugar is dissolved.
- Place your choice of protein (such as chicken or fish) or vegetables (like bell peppers or zucchini) in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish.
- Pour the marinade over your ingredients, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours, or for optimal flavor, overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the ingredients from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook your protein or vegetables as desired—grilling or roasting works best to enhance the flavors.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add some chopped fresh chili or a dash of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- This marinade works wonderfully with tofu for a vegetarian option—just ensure to press the tofu first to remove excess moisture.
