Steps

Chop the potatoes and green beans into bite-sized pieces, dice the onion, and mince the garlic & ginger. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Then add fresh ginger, garlic, all spices, potatoes, and green beans. Sauté for a further one minute, stirring frequently.
Add vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil.
Let simmer over low heat with a lid for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes and green beans are fork-tender.
Combine coconut milk and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir with a whisk until there are no lumps. Add the mixture to the curry. Let simmer for a few more minutes without a lid to thicken the curry.
Taste and adjust seasonings. Add more salt/pepper/spices if needed. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy with bread or naan bread! Please check the recipe notes below.

Yummy! The right amount of spice for me. Simple to make too. I even added some lentils.

I had a super busy work week so I had my husband make this for our dinner. He was so extremely proud that he was able to make such an incredible dish! The flavors were on point! He added a can of white beans and emulsified it a little. We didn't have tumeric or ginger unfortunately, but it was still a hit! Even our 5 and 7 year old kids devoured their bowls! Thanks for sharing!
