Coconut Curry!

To make a delightful coconut curry, you will need:
1 can coconut milk
3 T soy sauce
1 1/2 t curry powder
1 1/2 t ginger
1 t chili powder (you could use chili paste/more of it for a spicier curry)
1 finely diced medium onion
1 large can diced tomato (or a few diced tomatoes if you have fresh ones around)
1 lb protien (I used seitan, but tofu or chicken would go good, as well)
2 cups chopped celery (or bok choy, or something along those lines)
1/4 cup chopped basil
Optional add-ins are: mushrooms, snow peas, etc
Serve with rice.

Okay, so. You mix the coconut milk, soy sauce, curry, ginger and chili powders in a large pan until boiling. Then add the tomatoes, onion and protein. Cover for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the celery and basil, and cover for an additional five minutes. Uncover, and cook for a little longer to thicken it up a bit, but it will end up fairly runny. You could add corn starch to thicken it more if you wanted. Serve over rice.

Very simple, and super delicious! It's really creamy with a little kick to it. Be sure not to eat it all at once, because curry is always better as leftovers.
