Coconut and Curry - what could be better?

I have been craving coconut and curry. Just didn't know with what. And, to get Ken to agree to it. He doesn't love curry as much as I do, so I usually have to make dinner if I want curry. And, we all know that I am not wonderful in the kitchen. I definately need his input. So, I decided that I had some ground beef in the fridge, so I would use that. And, I ended up makeing coconut rice. Both recipes were totally made up by me. I took 1 onion, diced and 1 garlic clove, diced. Cooked those in some coconut oil (see a theme here?). I then took about 2 pounds of ground beef and cooked those in with the onions and garlic. Drained as much fat off as possible. I added 3/4 cup of coconut milk and 1/2 can of water. In addition, I used 3 tablespoons of curry. Use whatever you want - little or a lot. We then added some white wine vinegar, worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper and a few tablespoons of yogurt (yogurt added at the very end). When all of this was cooked (about 25 minutes), it still needed something. I opened a can of French style beans, drained them and added. Cooked to heat. That did it. Serve over coconut rice (3 cups of rice, 2 cups of water and 1 cup of coconut milk - cooked in a rice cooker. If you don't have a rice cooker, please think about getting one). I also added a little bit of shredded coconut as well.
