Notes
- Serving Solutions: Serve over cooked brown rice or different cooked grain. Strive serving together with roti or different flatbreads, together with a candy chutney.
- Coconut Milk Word: Use common coconut milk. Whenever you open the can, there can be a thicker cream portion, and a extra milky water. Use a couple of tablespoons of the milky water to saute, then add the remaining cream to complete. If utilizing cashew cream, merely saute in 2-3 tbsp of water. In order for you a lower-fat model, use much less cream, 1/2 cup or much less.
- Potato Word: Use potatoes that can maintain their form after cooking. Pink or yellow potatoes work higher than russet. In the event you do use russet, simply know they’ll seemingly break down extra within the sauce.
- Ginger Word: I like including the ginger on the finish of cooking to maintain it vibrant. You possibly can add it earlier whereas sautéing the spices, if you happen to want, or divide including the ginger between the sauce and ending.
