Vegetarian Yellow Curry Instructions:
- Prepare the Curry Paste:
- In a small bowl, mix together the yellow curry paste, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the curry paste mixture. Set aside.

- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Vegetables:
- Add the sliced carrots, red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, cauliflower, and broccoli to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Add Curry Paste and Spices:
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the curry paste mixture to the open space. Stir the curry paste in the hot oil for about 1-2 minutes to release its flavors. Then, mix it with the vegetables.

- Simmer and Serve:
- Let the curry simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
- Garnish and Serve:
