How to Make Malabar Vegetable Curry
Step 1: Start with the base
Heat organic coconut oil in a large pan.
Add cloves, cinnamon, and sliced onions. Sauté until onions turn soft and golden.
Step 2: Add vegetables
Toss in beans, carrots, peas, and cauliflower. Cook on medium heat for a few minutes. Add potatoes if using. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Step 3: Build the curry
Add turmeric and salt. Pour in 2 cups of water and let the vegetables cook until soft. Add tomatoes and simmer for another minute.
Step 4: Add coconut milk
Pour in organic coconut milk and mix gently. Allow it to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the curry thickens and turns creamy.
Step 5: Finish strong
Sprinkle cardamom powder and chopped coriander. Turn off the flame and let the curry rest for a minute before serving.
