Description
This is a spicy curried dish that my English husband loves! Great as an appetizer or as a main dish. For less spicy/hot, reduce ginger and/or curry paste. Serve with your favorite crusty bread for dipping.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
