Notes

This curry is flexible! You can substitute the chorizo with any smoked sausage or for a vegetarian version, try smoked tofu or chickpeas.
For a richer flavor, always use full-fat coconut milk.
This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
Don't forget to taste and adjust seasoning before serving to elevate the dish! Enjoy it over basmati rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
