Description

This vegetarian curry offers a satisfying and flavorful meal, drawing inspiration from Eastern culinary traditions. Tender summer squash and crisp green beans create a delightful base, enhanced by the nutty aroma of toasted sesame seeds. A carefully balanced blend of eight fragrant spices builds a complex and captivating flavor profile that dances on the palate.

The richness of coconut milk envelops the vegetables, creating a luxuriously creamy texture that elevates the entire dish. The vibrant yellow hue of this curry, derived from turmeric, is a visual invitation to a symphony of subtle yet distinct flavors. Yellow curries are celebrated for their delicate balance, where the sweetness of coconut milk harmonizes beautifully with the warmth of aromatic spices.

This recipe takes cues from both Indian and Thai cuisines, embracing the use of coconut milk and strategic spice combinations to create a dish that is both comforting and exciting. Imagine the tender squash and green beans, infused with the fragrant essence of ginger, garlic, and other carefully selected spices. Each bite offers a new layer of flavor, from the initial warmth to the subtle lingering heat.

The creamy coconut milk binds all the elements together, creating a velvety smooth sauce that coats the vegetables perfectly. This curry is a celebration of fresh, wholesome ingredients and thoughtful preparation, resulting in a meal that is both nourishing and deeply satisfying. Serve over a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice to complete the experience and soak up every last drop of the delicious sauce.

For those following a vegan lifestyle, simply substitute butter with your favorite cooking oil or fat to enjoy this delectable dish.

Instructions

    1.
    Melt butter in a wide pan over low heat. Add garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, and minced green chili. Stir until butter turns golden and spices become fragrant. Reduce heat to low and stir in curry powder, onion powder, coriander, and cumin until fragrant.
    2.
    Stir thin-sliced squash and chopped green beans with salt into the spiced butter. Coat vegetables in spices. Cover the pan, increase heat to medium-low, and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender and lightly golden.
    3.
    Scrape thick coconut cream from the top of a can of coconut milk and stir it into the pan. Add canned coconut milk and water. Cover the pan, bring to a simmer, and simmer gently for about 15 minutes, reducing heat as needed to prevent vegetables from becoming mushy.
    4.
    Serve 1 cup of hot vegetable curry over ¾ cup of prepared cauliflower rice. If cauliflower rice includes additional fats and spices, account for this in your food log. Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped herbs, or red pepper flakes as desired.
