Just adjust the cooking time to avoid overcooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFPuedo_hacer_este_curry_sin_leche_de_coco\"><\/span>Can I make this curry without coconut milk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coconut milk gives it a creamy texture and authentic flavor...that's the magic of this recipe. But if you can't consume coconut milk \ud83e\udd65, you can try unsweetened almond milk or plain yogurt for a lighter alternative.
