Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients, except for the coconut milk and kale, into your crockpot and stir together well. Set your crockpot to cook on high for 4 hours.
  2. After 4 hours, stir in the coconut milk and kale and let it sit while you prepare the rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa to serve.
  3. Top with a little cilantro, lime, and, if you like it extra spicy, some chopped chili peppers.

Notes

  • Add 1 cup of chicken stock for a thicker curry similar to what you'll find in many Thai restaurants. Add 2 cups of chicken stock for a thinner, more traditional-style curry. If you're unsure, add 1 cup then thin it at the end when you add the coconut milk, if you'd like.
  • Not all curry pastes are created equal. My favorite is Mae Ploy. If you are unfamiliar with the brand you're using make sure to taste it before adding it to the pot. Some pastes will be all heat and very little flavor. 
  • Fish sauce is smelly but it adds an AMAZING flavor to this recipe. Red Boat brand makes a sugar-free fish sauce.
