1 whole Lime, Juiced
Hot Sauce, Optional
12 whole Basil Leaves, Chopped, Plus More For Garnish

Remove to a plate and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and stir to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and continue cooking the onions, stirring, for another couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine.
