Amazing Curry

Hello!

I just want to share this very easy dish that has become my staple.  I love it so much, and its so easy and cheap!

This curry is SO delicious and easy you have to try it.  It is under $10 per person, the more people eating the cheaper it will be.  And this meal that be made vegan or Keto! 

If you wanted to make it fun for kids do the vegetables in their own pots to let them be the chefs!  While this would be more clean up, allowing kids to be the creators and have ownership over their meals is a fun way to promote healthy eating.  When I have kids cook with me I will usually make a rule that they have to pick 5 vegetables  If your child is extremely resistant do 3.  Do rice cauliflower so they have no choice but to eat more vegetables.  Or mix the rice cauliflower with the regular rice.

Ingredients
Whole fat coconut milk from the can,  I'd say if 4 or more are eating then 1 can per two people.  Otherwise 1 can for 3 people should be just fine.
Thai Kitchen Curry Paste I use about half the jar per can of coconut milk.
Fresh ginger or ginger paste
Coconut oil
All the vegetables you want
Chicken or Seafood  if desired
1 Egg if you want to increase the protein
Rice or Rice noodles If you want.  Rice will be cheaper than rice noodles.  Keep it Keto and do riced cauliflower.
Season to taste

First cook the vegetables.  If I use garlic and onion I always do those first.  I cook everything in coconut oil at first.  Then if I am doing meat that day I'll add those before the quick cooking vegetables, like spinach, peas,  riced cauliflower, and herbs...

After I have done the larger vegetables I will start the rice.  Rice is cooked with double the amount of water to rice.  I cook rice by first adding the coconut oil, garlic and onion if using, then I cook all of that together with the rice, then a minute or two later I will add 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice, using the same cup I scooped the rice with.  then bring it to a boil, stir, then down to a light simmer with the lid on until there is no more water.  The timing should work out perfectly but its ok if the rice finishes early.  IF you have a rice cooker, then use that!  Riced cauliflower is much different, follow the directions on the packaging, or just saute it, it'll be ready in a couple minutes.

After the vegetables are in ( I only put the herbs in at the last second, like green onion and cilantro) I add the coconut milk, keep stirring, then add the curry paste.  Put about half the jar of Thai Kitchen curry paste for one can of coconut milk, add a little ginger, if using the ginger paste, just a little bit, about a dot size of your pinky... unless you love ginger.  Add a drop of fish sauce or soy sauce if you want.  Personally I don't.

Add the garnishes at the last second.  To make it incredible have fresh chopped cilantro and lime for each person to add right before eating.

Enjoy!

While this meal is not exactly authentic curry, its delicious and quick.  Try it out and let me know what you think, or tell me what you did differently that made it better!
