We make a ton of different curries in the winter months – especially ones like this which are warm and have a good amount of spice (red pepper flakes are optional, but we load ‘em on). The coconut milk gives this curry a creamy texture, while the fresh lime juice packs a real punch! Garnishes are optional but 100% recommended – I love piles of fresh cilantro on anything, so its a good excuse to load up!
Whats In This Vegan Coconut Curry?
