Notes
This recipe and many more can be found in my cookbook The Vegetarian Family Cookbook, available wherever books are sold.
If you are not on a vegan or dairy-free diet, heavy cream or whole milk can be used in place of coconut milk with very similar results!
If you are on an oil-free diet, the oil can be omitted.
