I don’t even like coconut, but I love coconut curry. It’s warm, comforting and filling. Plus, coconut (and curry) have many health benefits.
This coconut curry is a recipe of mine that I’ve adapted from a recipe on the back of a coconut milk can over the last few months.
If you don’t like green beans and carrots, you can try other vegetables. Asparagus and cauliflower work well.
