Notes

  • Instead of coconut milk, you can add your choice of plant-based milk. Look for creamier milk options like Oat milk.
  • Choice of vegetables is wide open for this curry. Options like Peas, beans, and carrots can make your curry extra chunky.
  • Adding Cilantro or coriander leaves is optional. Instead of coconut milk, you could also add ¼ cup of grated coconuts. Blend them along with the tomato-onion mixture.
