Ingredients & Substitutions
Coconut coconut milk adds such a lovely creaminess to this dish; I always go for full-fat for that rich texture. If you’re not a fan of chickpeas, feel free to swap them out for tofu or tempeh! And remember, the red curry paste can vary in heat, so start with less if you prefer a milder flavor.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to double the batch and freeze half for those busy nights when cooking feels like too much effort.
- •If you want to add some protein, consider tossing in some cubed tofu or tempeh during the last few minutes of cooking.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a splash of peanut butter for extra creaminess and flavor.
- •For a spicy kick, toss in some chopped chili peppers or a dash of sriracha.
Storage & Freezing
This curry keeps well in the fridge for about 4-5 days in an airtight container. I like to reheat it on the stove, adding a splash of water or coconut coconut milk to loosen it up if it thickens.
