Notes
- The best option when it comes to coconut milk is the canned one you find in most shops. It's pretty cheap, creamy and flavourful, as opposed to the drinkable coconut milk, which is pretty tasteless and watery, if you as me.
- The canned coconut milk needs to be shaken before you open it, as the cream is usually separated from the rest of the liquid. Some recipes call from the coconut cream only, in which case you need not shake it, but for this recipe, we need it all.
- I like the curry with a bit of liquid in, but if you want it thicker, you can add some cornflour (corn starch) to it.
