Brimful of Asha on the 45

[cyrano]

So I made a vegetarian curry, in my continuing efforts to reduce the amount of flesh in my diet.
And I found that it was pretty unsatisfying in my mouth. But when I added a little fat, the spices grabbed onto that and did a little dance. So, my vegetable eating friends, with out rendering it from the beasts of the field, how do you get a little bit of fat in your food commonly?

In curry? Half unflavored yogurt and half coconut milk. In fact, I have a recipe that calls for cooking the curry spices in the thick part of the coconut milk (the cream) before adding it to the rest of the dish. I skipped that step until the last time I made it... and it makes a HUGE difference.

Oooo.
I may have to try that.
