Swaps

- No coconut oil? Swap in an equal amount of another neutral cooking oil.
- No fresh cilantro? Stir in 1 teaspoon dried cilantro or simply omit it.
Storing it
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat on the stove or in the microwave until steaming hot. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
Making it ahead
The curry base can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept covered in the fridge; stir in fresh cilantro and lime juice just before serving.
