Customization & Serving

This adaptable curry sauce welcomes your personal touch. Easily make it a vegetarian option by swapping the chicken stock for a good quality vegetable stock. For an extra kick, a touch of cayenne pepper could be added alongside the curry powder, or adjust the curry powder amount for a milder heat. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use a smaller amount of ground ginger, though fresh offers a more vibrant zest.
