I actually used light coconut milk in the dish but it still tasted decadent!
I jotted down the ingredients and measurements of everything as I cooked just in case our dinner ended up tasting good enough to share and I realized that this dinner is both vegetarian and vegan. And delicious!
I loved the blend of flavors of ginger and curry and the crunch from the chopped cashews. This meal was also quite filling!

Yum!!!! I am on a serious coconut milk kick right now too. I have been using the almond/coconut blend in my smoothies- amazing!!
Amanda says
Trying this tonight!! When did you add the chickpeas???
msirismg says
Amanda looks like you and I are the only ones who actually read the recipe. I would add them after the cashews. Since they’re canned chickpeas, they’re already partially cooked. So about a half hour is just right

I knew I had to try this recipe when I saw it. I made it tonight and it was sooo good. It was light and I didn’t feel super stuffed afterwards so that’s a plus. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. This one is definitely a winner!

Yummo- thanks for sharing! I’d love to make this but would have to add some meat for the carnivores- some people won’t eat it otherwise haha

Always great to go for a run or even a walk on the beach. There is something totally different to it, whether it’s the air, water or scenery I’m not sure.

So it took me a few days, but I finally made this for dinner last night! YUM! I added some extra garlic to mine and a few drizzles of hot chili sesame oil. I loved it! I am eating left overs today for lunch and I have to say it is just as good, if not better, reheated. It is so creamy and flavorful! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

It may mean that you need without blowing your calorie intake incredibly difficult and so you have to find
it or put it back. I would start Dieting Ketosis 7 days before the target date.
However, if you can find an oak tree to plant in your garden.
Once you have seen how easy it is to follow some guideline
for dieting ketosis for idiots involves eating at least one ingredient that has
been genetically modified.
