The fabulous flavors of Thai red curry paste and light coconut milk combine to make a one-pot meal that's creamy, rich, and comforting while remaining dairy free. Full of vegetables like cauliflower, peppers, onions, and hearty ingredients like chicken and potatoes, this filling recipe manages to stay easy to prepare, cook, and clean up with minimal dish cleaning, while the aromas fill your kitchen as it simmers on the stove. The secret ingredient that pumps up the flavor? A hint of brown sugar balances the curry and cilantro for a sweet, yet savory profile. Plus, you get to practice your stir-fry skills and then set it and forget it, until you're ready to serve of course!
