Absolutely loved this recipe! The prawns were perfectly tender and the flavors were rich. Will definitely make it again!
I dunno, my curry turned out too watery. Did I do something wrong? It tasted fine, but I expected something thicker.
I’m not sure but I usually put in some flour or cornstarch to thicken things up if they’re too watery.
If it was watery, maybe you added too much tomato puree or didn’t let it simmer long enough? That coconut milk should help thicken it up.
What is coconut milk? Can I use regular milk instead? I want to try this but not sure if it’s okay to substitute.
