Method

Curry Masala Sauce

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Stir in curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Vegetables

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and frozen green peas to the sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and salt. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
