Optional Protein: While many people will add chicken or shrimp to their Thai coconut curries, I like to keep it vegetarian by throwing in some chickpeas, lentils, black beans, or tofu. Coconut Milk: Use full-fat canned coconut milk or coconut cream for. The key to the creaminess in this recipe is using coconut milk as the base. I use full-fat canned coconut milk to make it as creamy as possible, but you could use pretty much any type of coconut milk that you like. Add coconut milk and water and bring to a simmer.
