Step-by-Step Vegetable Korma with Coconut Milk Guide
- Sauté the Veggies. Warm the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the chopped yellow onion, red bell pepper, and carrots. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
- Add the Garlic, Ginger, and Spices. Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and spices, cooking until aromatic, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add the Remaining Ingredients (Except the Peas and Spinach). Add the cauliflower florets, cubed sweet potato, tomatoes, coconut milk, and water. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until the vegetables are tender and cooked through, about 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Blending. For a thicker, creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend about one-third of the korma directly in the pot. Alternatively, transfer one-third of the curry to a high-speed blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.
- Frozen Peas, Spinach, and Optional Protein. Stir in the frozen peas, spinach, and any preferred protein, cooking until heated through.
- Serve. Divide between bowls and top with your favorite garnishes. Enjoy!
