Questions

How long does Creamy Vegetable Curry take?

As written, 50 minutes: 20 of prep and 30 of cooking. The longest single stretch is step 7 (15 minutes): "Cover and cook for 15 minutes."

What should Creamy Vegetable Curry look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 9: cook until all vegetables are tender.

Is there a substitute for coconut milk in Creamy Vegetable Curry?

The entry for Creamy Vegetable Curry calls for 1 can coconut milk (14 oz cans, full-fat). In its place: Heavy cream or evaporated milk gives the same body without the coconut flavor. To stay dairy-free, blend soaked cashews with water until smooth.

Is Creamy Vegetable Curry spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Creamy Vegetable Curry comes from 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. For a milder plate, halve the red pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.
