Add the spicesStir in curry powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast the spices and release their aromas. This creates the flavor foundation for your curry.
-
Create the sauceReduce heat to medium-low. Add peanut butter and stir until it begins to melt. Gradually whisk in coconut milk and broth until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Cook the proteinAdd chicken or tofu to the sauce. If using chicken, ensure it's fully submerged in the sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Add vegetablesAdd diced bell peppers and sweet potato to the pot. Stir to coat with sauce. Cover and continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender and protein is fully cooked.

Adjust consistencyCheck the consistency of your curry. If it's too thick, add a splash more broth. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
