From the Test Kitchen

This quick-cooking vegetable curry is packed with flavor from rich coconut milk, tangy lime juice, and tomato achaar (a combination of tomatoes, tamarind, chiles, and more). It’s all served over a bed of fluffy garlic rice and garnished with crispy onions for an extra crunch.
