For a creamier curry, use full-fat coconut milk. Adjust the amount of curry powder to your preference. If you don't have grapeseed oil, you can substitute with coconut oil or olive oil. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as broccoli florets or spinach, during the last few minutes of cooking. For a spicier curry, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper to the pot along with the curry powder.
