Isn’t it about time to get all curries/soups/comfort food in the making? Weather’s just about right with a little breeze in the air, sweatshirts out and leaves turning and reminding us all that WINTER is coming! HA!
COMFORT FOOD – one word. I love coconut milk. I sometimes add pumpkin to this or chicken or plain old potatoes and carrots and its still finger licking good! It takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish and everything in one pot and all the goodness you can get from a bowl!
I also add Maggi to this sometimes back home cause noodles and this curry is also a MATCH made in HEAVEN guys!
The little spice from jalapeños is perfect and not too spicy or overpowering and balances the curry. Feel free to add or substitute with other protein and play around with the flavor. Mint leaves also enhance the flavor but I dint have any in hand.
