Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece ginger, minced
  • 4 medium tomatoes, chopped

Spices & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • Salt to taste

Liquids & Oils

  • 1 cup coconut milk (full fat)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or neutral cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Aromatics: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add Tomatoes and Curry Powder: Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and sprinkle the curry powder over them. Stir well to coat the tomatoes with the spices. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
  3. Simmer with Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the curry thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
  4. Season and Serve: Add salt to taste, adjust seasoning as needed, and remove from heat. Serve hot over steamed rice or your favorite grain.

Notes

  • Use fresh tomatoes for the best flavor, but canned tomatoes can be substituted in a pinch.
  • Adjust curry powder quantity depending on your preferred spice level.
  • For a richer curry, use full-fat coconut milk; light versions will reduce creaminess.
  • This curry pairs beautifully with basmati rice or naan bread.
  • To make it vegan and vegetarian, ensure the curry powder contains no animal-derived ingredients.
