None of these ingredients are set in stone. However, I seriously encourage the addition of the butternut squash. It really does increase the enjoyment & satisfaction levels from this meal.
Brown rice does take a little longer to cook however it is higher in fibre and will keep you fuller for longer.
A normal Korma would be based on full fat cream or coconut milk but his has NONE, NADA, NOTHING!!!
