Serving Suggestions

A squeeze of lime juice adds a bright note, so be sure to serve the curry with lime wedges. Lemon juice works, too. Fresh cilantro is a perfect topping choice, but if you’re a cilantro hater, just use parsley or leave it out. Basmati rice, especially brown basmati, is perfect for serving with this curry and makes for a complete vegetarian protein. You could also serve it over rice noodles with warm naan bread on the side to sop up all the creamy goodness.

A cooling cucumber raita sauce is a great contrast to balance the curry’s warmth. To add extra nutrients and texture to the meal, serve roasted veggies on the side, such as roasted cauliflower, eggplant, or Brussels sprouts.

For sweet Indian-themed desserts, enjoy a creamy mango lassi yogurt drink or mango coconut ice cream. A coconut milk rice pudding or tropical chia pudding would be tasty, too!
