Thanks to other reviews, I added lots more coconut milk to increase the amount of sauce. Loved this!
0 HelpfulDelicious. Did wish there was more sauce - would definitely add in more milk and curry paste next time.
0 HelpfulI thought this was good, but would slice the chicken thinner next time and probably just use coconut milk instead of both coconut milk and chicken broth. Also added some arrowroot powder at the end to thicken up the sauce.
0 HelpfulI think there just wasnt enough curry paste. Very little sauce w this one. Had a rough time w the tofu too.... It just didn't crisp on the outside. Would put it in pan before eggplant or maybe broil it.
