When do you use the coconut milk in this recipe? It didn’t show being added in the video either.
Hi Katherine, Sorry for the confusion. This is an optional ingredient. There was a pop up on the screen around the 3:40 mark. It says to add some coconut milk after adding the curry paste if you like a creamier curry. I hope this helps. Happy cooking! :)
Is there some way to lower the calories in this recipe!!!!!!!
Ruth
Hello Ruth, We totally understand your concerns. Most of the calories are in the chicken breast and the coconut milk/oil. You could try to make it your own by substituting veggies for the chicken breast and trying some lower fat options for the coconut milk. I have altered similar recipes by using chick peas for protein in place of chicken. Keep in mind these changes may alter the taste and consistency. Please let us know how this turns out if you decide to try it. Happy cooking! :)
