Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fresh cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped
Lime juice
2 tablespoons
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Fish sauce
2 tablespoons
Green peas
1 cup
Cauliflower florets
2 cups
Bell pepper
1, sliced

Coconut milk
1 (13.5 ounce) can
Yellow curry paste
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the yellow curry paste, cook for 2 minutes to release the flavors, stirring continuously to prevent it from burning.
  4. Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, sliced bell pepper, cauliflower florets, and green peas. Stir until all the vegetables are coated with the curry paste.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still retain a slight crunch.
  7. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve this flavorful yellow curry over steamed jasmine rice or with warm naan bread for a complete meal.
  9. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro for an added layer of freshness.
