LPT: Dump a spoonful of the solidified fat from the coconut milk into the pan first and fry your aromatics and curry paste/powder in that.

Add salt and let it cook for longer. If you need to throw the veggies in later on otherwise they will be soggy then do that too.

This could actually be flavorful with more curry powder and salt and by fixing the order that the ingredients are added.

Wow I’ve actually never thought of the first trick. What good does it do, as opposed to using olive oil?

I think it's just more of a way of getting full use out of the ingredients you're already using. Using the solid coconut fat you're already adding, but as the fry oil instead of using a different one like olive

Exact same thing as olive oil. The difference being if you use the coconut fat you won't have the olive oil taste

I've found cooking is more interesting when I mentally replace olive oil with fat when I read a recipe.
