Excellent. Used a whole can of light coconut milk, 2 cans of beans, a few tbsp of curry powder and sambal.
0 HelpfulI really loved this! However, the directions and ingredient list need some work. The coconut milk part was confusing--1 cup split in half, a can split in half? I just did the whole can. When do you add the chicken broth? I assumed with the squash and chicken, so that is what I did.
0 HelpfulI'm really liking the coconut milk and curry paste sauce. I added chicken too. This was yummy, but by the time I got the kale done, the squash was a bit on the mushy side. I will put the kale in sooner next time.
