Indian Coconut Curry

This Indian coconut curry is so comforting and delicious! The combination of curry spices and coconut works so well. It also has a splash of lime juice to bring balance to the whole dish.

This curry always makes me happy. My husband is also a big Indian curry fan and loves this recipe too.

I love to serve this with naan bread. Here is my no yeast naan bread recipe.

I love that curries are so great for leftovers, this curry is no exception. If you are into meal prep, this is a great recipe to freeze or store in the refrigerator for a easy meal during the week.
