1 can coconut milk
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Step 1: Heat oil in a medium-sized pot. Add onions and sauté about 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 4 minutes until cooked but not brown.
