Tomorrow, I want to make curry. I have been craving it like crazy. I will use quinoa instead of rice. Can curry only be made with coconut milk?

Just replace chicken with veg, I was a veg up until a couple of months ago when i go sick, use peppers zucchini spinach etc etc
you try make it without cooking it haha!0 -
Indian curries can be made with tomato puree, by the way.
Anyway, I live in Thailand and I, too, try to avoid coconut milk, which can be very difficult. I've had some success with soy milk - it isn't as creamy but it is damn good.0 -
Pureed veggies make an awesome base for a curry sauce. Take a mix of your favorite veggies that are all roughly in the same color family-- I like yellow or orange squash (butternut, acorn, summer), onion, yellow, orange or red peppers, sweet potato. Boil 'em up until they're very soft, then puree in a food processor or blender with as much of the cooking liquid as necessary to get to a sauce consistency. Then add your favorite curry paste/powder/custom mix of hand-ground spices. I like it with chickpeas, but once you have the sauce you can use it with anything: chunks of potatoes, peas, other veggies (meat eaters can of course add meat).
If you prefer, you can roast or sautee the veggies until soft, then use whatever liquid you like to help puree them.0 -
I make Korma sauce with 2% greek yoghurt. Korma paste and veggies cooked, add some ground almonds and garlic, then add the greek yoghurt at the end. Love it0

One of my favorite sauces is vindaloo. I use pureed tomatoes with a several tablespoons of red wine vinegar and some tamarind paste. Cook onion and chilis (how much depends on how spicy you want it) until a little soft, then add the base and spices. Spices are garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, mustard seed, cinnamon, turmeric, and cloves. Sorry I can't give exact measurements (I don't use a recipe), but they're in order of what I use most to least.. garam masala could also be used as a replacement. I leave out the ghee, but usually add a little demerara sugar or molasses. Serve over vegetables and/or homemade paneer with fresh coriander on top.0

What a good idea!0 -
The other day I made a curry using unsweetened almond milk and the bottled paste stuff. It was a little thinner than the regular coconut milk but it was still delish.0
