Notes
- Using lite coconut milk will produce a thinner curry but still flavorful.
- Serve over basmati rice for a traditional option or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb alternative.
- Adjust spice levels by omitting jalapeño for milder flavor.
- Nutritional info is based on lite coconut milk without rice.
