Notes

Feel free to swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa for a nuttier flavor. For a lighter option, you can replace coconut milk with unsweetened almond or cashew milk. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or warm naan bread, making it perfect for potlucks or casual get-togethers. Always taste as you go and adjust seasonings gradually for the best flavor. Properly store leftovers in an airtight container; it keeps well in the fridge for up to four days and can be frozen for up to three months. Enjoy the warmth of this cozy dish on chilly nights!
