Ingredients 

Instructions

  • With your food processor running, drop the garlic cloves and ginger slices through the tube.
    12 garlic cloves, 2-inch piece fresh ginger root
  • Stop the motor, then add the onions. Pulse until the onions are finely chopped, but not juicy.
    1 large onion
  • In a small bowl, combine the coriander, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and cayenne pepper.
    ¼ cup ground coriander, 1 tablespoon ground turmeric, 1 tablespoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger, and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
    2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is well-blended and starting to get thick and pasty.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, then bring everything to a slow boil.
    28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool fully before dividing into portions to freeze.

Notes

This recipe is for 5 servings. Each serving is a 1/2 cup of curry sauce.
I recommend dividing the sauce into 1/2 cup or 1 cup portions before freezing. This makes it easy to only thaw 1 portion at a time.
Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
