I love spicy so this is right up my alley.
my comment didn’t come up, so I’ll try again. I’ve saved your recipe because it looks so good, but I have a question…do you think using a light coconut milk to save some calories would be ok? Would I need to add anything to thicken it if I do use the light milk?
It sounds delicious! Thanks for the recipe, Yum!
