• 1 3/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 tsp oil
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 onion
• 3 tomato
• 1 tsp cayenne
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 2 potato
• Coriander
• Salt

• To begin with the recipe of coconut curry, heat one teaspoon of avocado oil or any neutral oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add one teaspoon of cumin seeds to it.
• Add a thinly sliced medium yellow onion along with a pinch of salt.
• Cook the onions for a few minutes until they are softened and lightly caramelising.
• Add three finely chopped medium tomatoes to the pan once the onions are cooked. With the tomatoes, add also 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric.
• Carry on frying for another few minutes until the tomatoes soften and turn mushy to produce a thick, fragrant sauce.
• At this time, add two medium-boiled and diced potatoes to the pan. Potatoes add a hearty, comforting element to the curry, absorbing the spices and coconut milk for added flavour.
• Pour 400 gms of coconut milk into the mixture, stirring it well to combine the ingredients. Bring the curry to a gentle boil, allowing it to cook for about one minute.
• This step lets the flavours meld together, and the potatoes soak up the spices. Following that, reduce the heat and add the last of the coconut milk to the pan, stirring to incorporate it.
• The coconut milk will give the curry a great creamy feel that balances the cayenne and turmeric heat. Taste the curry for salt and adjust according to your preference.
• If you want your curry to be a thinner consistency, you may add a little water or vegetable stock to get it right.
• Allow the curry to simmer on deficient heat, warming through, but make sure you cut off the heat before it becomes too hot to boil again.
• For an added flavour, garnish the coconut curry with freshly chopped cilantro or scallions. The bright green herbs create a refreshing contrast to the richness of the curry, making the dish even more appealing to the eye.
• Coconut curry generally should be served with jeera rice- a fragrant cumin-infused rice that complements the curry well.
