I love how quick this curry recipe is! I realised I had no coconut milk too late in the making, so added some spoons of coconut yoghurt instead! I don’t know how different it tastes from the original recipe, but I quite like it! I had it with basmati rice, kale, chutney, and cashews for crunchiness ❤️

Love a good kitchen pivot! The yoghurt version is probably quite similar to the original, just a little bit thicker and extra lush. Adding chutney and cashews sounds like an absolute dream 💚

Hi there! Will make this recipe for dinner and I was wondering where we can find the high protein flatbread you mentioned on the video?

My first time trying the app and a Gigi recipe. I wanted to use what I had in my pantry, so, with the help of AI (which was more useful than what I expected!) I replaced it with lentils, and also was able to substitute other ingredients. My first curry ever and I’m super excited!! ❤️

Should we slightly mash the sweet potato or is that just an indicator of tenderness

Hi Jackie, it’s just an indicator of tenderness. However you can mash some of the sweet potato if you like, it’ll result in a more creamy, thicker curry :)

Loved this! Just made it today and it turned out great. I made a few tweaks. I doubled the garlic and all the seasonings because I like a more vibrant flavour. I also think I made cut my sweet potato pieces too big. They were in about 1/2 to 1 inch cubes so I ended up using my hand immersion blender to smooth out the sauce a bit while still leaving some chunks before I added the chick peas and coconut milk. Would recommend!!!

I didn't have tomatoes so I put zucchini and miso paste instead of nutritional yeast. Also added home made pasata with minced vegetables. It was delicious❤️.

Yummy ! I did add a big dollop of thai red curry paste...I needed more flavor. I used pumpkin and sweet potato and served with bulgur.

Used passata, resulted in too much water, so took the lid off to let the water evaporate and took half the coconut cream. Added 3 large shitakes in the end. Love it 😍

I made this curry, doesn't look near as pretty as Gigi's!!! I changed it up a little using black beans instead of chickpeas (didn't have any) and put some silverbeet in because we have an abundance in the garden so it gets put in EVERYTHING! Yummy curry!
