Instructions

1. 1Heat the 2 tbsp of coconut oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (350°F / 177°C). Add the 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent.
2. 2Add the 3 cloves of garlic, minced, the 1 inch of ginger, grated, the 10 curry leaves, and the 2 small green chilies, thinly sliced. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until you can smell the spices and aromatics.
3. 3Stir in the 1 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of cumin powder, and 1 tsp of coriander powder. Cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
4. 4Pour in the 1 can of coconut milk. Add the 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes, the 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds, the 1 cup of green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces, and the 1 cup of cauliflower florets.
5. 5Increase the heat to medium-high (400°F / 204°C) and bring the curry to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low (200°F / 93°C), cover the pot, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
6. 6Stir in the 1 tsp of salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
