I adapted this recipe from Suvir Saran�EUR(TM)s Shrimp and Sweet Corn Curry making it into a simpler, vegan and gluten free version. I’ve made the original recipe without shrimp before and it’s also delicious. My version just requires a few less steps and hard to find ingredients (curry leaves) and relies on coconut milk for another flavor.
