MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Make it Creamy- Some versions of Jamaican chicken curry use coconut milk for a creamier curry. If you would like to do that, you can reduce the water to ½ cup and add a 14-oz (400 mL) can of full-fat coconut milk at the same time as the water (like in this Crockpot Yellow Thai Chicken Curry recipe). Add More Vegetables- While carrots and potatoes are typical, you can definitely change up or add different vegetables! Some ideas: – Kale – Spinach – Radishes – Zucchini – Green Beans
