Notes

  • Kroger's
  • chicken curry
  • tofu pumpkin curry
  • summer vegetable curry
  • Adapted from Kroger's Simple Coconut Curry recipe.
  • Use different veggies: You can easily swap out the veggies based on what’s in season and what you have on hand. I love the bell peppers and broccoli, but I bet the curry would be amazing with butternut squash... especially as the weather gets cooler. Mushrooms, cauliflower, snap peas, carrots and/or spinach are all excellent options for this recipe.
  • Use a different protein: Want to swap out the shrimp? Go right ahead! You could swap it with chicken or just try my chicken curry. For a vegan version, you could swap the shrimp for tofu or tempeh (my tofu pumpkin curry is also delicious) or you can skip the protein altogether and add more vegetables for a veggie-packed dish like with my summer vegetable curry.
