This is as simple as it gets for a classic coconut milk based curry. There are many better ways to prepare and execute a dish like this that would use fresher ingredients, require more time building flavor and more knowledge to craft a blend of “curry” spices. So here “Simple” really means quick and easy. Buy premade curry powder and the very few other ingredients and toss them in the saute pan. Serve over rice, couscous or nothing at all.
