An ode to our ethically harvested coconuts from farms in Thailand, this scrumptious curry is a one-pot dish that celebrates bold flavors. It gets its yellow color from turmeric, a powerful spice with anti-inflammatory and blood-purifying properties. The curry has a distinct punch of lemongrass – a herb with antibacterial benefits – and coconut milk that is an unmatched source of healthy fats and vitamin C. You can tuck into this tasty curry with a portion of jasmine rice or coconut rice.
