Hints and Tips

If you fancy making this recipe with different ingredients, try these swaps:

  • Swap the carrot or cauliflower for green beans or aubergine

  • Swap the chickpeas for lentils or beans

  • Swap the coconut milk for yoghurt


For extra yum, add some spinach or chopped coriander when you stir in the coconut milk.


🌶If you want to make your curry spicier, add more ginger or why not try adding fresh chilli or chilli powder?


Use a spoon to scrape the skin off the ginger, so you don't waste any of the flesh.
