1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 cup vegetable broth

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons curry powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon garam masala

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: In your crockpot, add the sautéed onion mixture followed by the diced cucumbers, red bell pepper, and green beans.

      Add the Flavor: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Then, sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until everything is well combined.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the vegetables are tender and infused with flavors.

          Add the Final Touches: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the halved cherry tomatoes to add freshness to the dish.

            Serve: Once cooked, give the curry a final stir and taste for seasoning adjustments. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy with steamed rice or naan!
