Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 large onion, chopped
1 garlic, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 scallion, trimmed and finely chopped
1 fresh thyme
6 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
Preparation
Heat oil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Add curry powder, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, scallion, and thyme. Cook until vegetables are soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 3 cups water, and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Add coconut milk, and stir until well combined. Strain into a small saucepan, and continue cooking until reduced and the sauce thickly coats the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes more. Sauce may be stored, covered, in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
