Tips for this recipe:

Serve it with rice + cilantro:

This curry can be eaten as a stand-alone dish, but it’s best with a side of white rice and topped with a handful of chopped cilantro.

Taste test:

Once your curry is done simmering, season it generously with salt & pepper. You can taste and season to your preference before serving.

Double the recipe:

This recipe makes 2 servings. It’s also a recipe that is tasty as leftovers. You can double/triple the ingredients to make a batch of curry that can feed more people or serve as meal prep for the week.

How to Store This Recipe:

Note: This recipe keeps well as leftovers, but it’s recommended that you store it separately from rice (if you make it with rice). If you store the curry with the rice it can make the rice soggy.

• In the fridge: once cooled, store in an airtight container for 4 – 5 days.
