Substitutions
No coconut oil? No problem
I like cooking with coconut oil from time to time because of the hint of coconut it gives dishes.
And coconut+curry=Yum City🏙️
But if you don't like or have coconut oil on hand, that's totally fine.
You just need some oil to saute the onions in and release the flavour of the curry powder.
Instead of coconut oil you can use olive oil or canola oil.
Substitute for white kidney beans
Instead of the white kidney beans (also known as cannellini beans), you can use chickpeas if you have them.
Other vegetables to try
If you don't have all the vegetables that the recipe calls for, no worries.
There are a bunch of different options you can try out.
Here are some vegetables you could put into the curry if you have them on hand:
- Baby bok choy
- Baby kale
- Brussel sprouts
- Broccolini
- Celery
- Green beans
- Peas
- Potatoes like Yukon Gold or red skinned potatoes
- Spinach
