Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk: It gives the curry a richer, creamier texture and better overall balance.
- Simmer gently: Avoid high heat after adding coconut milk to keep the sauce smooth and velvety.
- Don’t overcook the green peas: Add them at the end and cook just until tender so they stay bright green and keep their natural sweetness.
- This curry stores well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. For the best color and texture, gently reheat it and avoid overcooking the peas again.
