We use coconut milk for this recipe. It gives creamy texture to the curry. It’s totally on you how much texture you want. If want very creamy then add more coconut milk.
You can use any vegetables of your choice. I used lots of vegetables like cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, eggplant, potatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms.
All the veggies are full of vitamins and protein, especially mushrooms. They are a great source of protein and antioxidants. I love all the variety of mushrooms like Portobello, Chaga, Turkey tail, Cordyceps, Lion’s mane, Shiitake, White button, Maitake.
