your recipe sounds great, but I think instead of using the olive oil I will use the coconut oil, it holds up better than the olive oil when heated.. high heat takes away the best part of most oils but coconut oil can take a higher heat than the rest..

Really easy.....heat some Coconut Oil and/or Ghee in a large frying pan. (Ghee AND coconut oil is nice !)...toss in some chopped onion and fry till it starts to soften...throw in some chopped red peppers, mushrooms, brocoli, cauliflower...(whatever you like really) and fry for a few more minutes...Next, add shop bought or homemade curry paste. A good tablespoon full...if using shop bought paste you now have the choice of using Indian, Thai red/green curry paste etc.....or simply add Garlic, Ginger, Curry Powder, Turmeric, Chili Powder and Cumin (Teaspoon of each) along with whatever meat/fish you want. Fry for a few minutes more till the spices start to become fragrant then add a tin of coconut milk and allow to simmer until the meat is properly cooked through. Taste and season...you can add more chili powder/cumin if you need to, and/or Garam massala. If you like, you can add tinned tomatoes, in which case I would add coconut cream rather than milk, as tinned tom's will tend to produce a thinner sauce. I like to sprinkle desiccated coconut into the curry...this will thicken it up as well as tasting great! Serve with fresh chopped corriander on top. I like to have a mixed salad on the side, with coconut flakes mixed in. How about finishing the meal with coconut flour pancakes topped with whipped coconut cream and fruit.......? Delicious !!

Hello all
I have read that a lot of people use coconut oil for making curries. Am surprised that I have not been able to find a single curry recipe on the recipes section (apologies if I have overlooked any). Can you all let me know how you all use coconut oil to make curries?
Thanks in advance.
