Notes
Gluten FreeTo make this recipe gluten free, use the following substitutions:
Soy Sauce - use Tamari instead.
Curry paste - check the brand used is gluten free.
Coconut Milk
The recipe will taste more flavoursome by using full-fat coconut milk. You may find it's a little watery if using half/low fat coconut milk and would require simmering down at the end of cooking.
