Notes
- Feel free to add as many vegetables as you want! I like to see a basic curry recipe like this as a blank canvas.
- I would recommend using full-fat coconut milk, because this achieves the best creaminess.
- If at any point during the cooking process the curry starts to look too dry, thin it out with veggie broth or plant based milk.
- Use good quality spices to achieve the best depth of flavour.
