Notes

For a more authentic flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. Add vegetables like bell peppers or peas for varied textures. The curry tastes even better the next day, making it great for meal prep. Don’t rush the simmering process; allow the flavors to meld. For a spicy kick, add chopped fresh chili or sriracha according to your taste. Serve with garlic fried rice or steamed jasmine rice to enhance the dish.
