One-Pot Owl Curry

This curry is so easy to make and is the most delicious meal you can eat for the small amount of time and money it takes. It does not, however, contain owl. That was just to get your attention. We went on an owl hike last night. We went into the woods and listened as our hike guide played owl calls on an ipod! The owls called back! It was really fun. Before this happened we made coconut veg curry. This recipe is sort of a cross between indian and thai curry. It contains coconut milk but also calls for indian curry powder. Steamed, salted edamame was also served, which is always a good choice served out of a communal bowl. Vegetables from the famer's market were used, which is another reason this recipe is great: you can use any veg you want and it will be extremely delicious and well-received.
