3 Garlic Cloves, peeled and crushed

Notes & Tips
Curry Paste: Use your favorite paste or adjust the amount based on spice tolerance. Typically, 1–2 tbsp per person.
Curry Powder Alternative: Replace curry paste with 1 tsp curry powder for every 1 tbsp of paste.
Coconut Milk: Opt for full-fat for a rich texture, but reduced-fat works if you’re cutting calories.
Vegetable Prep: Cut veggies into small, even pieces for a uniform texture and even cooking.
Cashews: Add a satisfying crunch and subtle nutty flavor.
