In the list of ingredients, I've got a teaspoon of salt, but I didn't include adding the salt anywhere in the instructions! I'm constantly tasting and seasoning as I cook out of habit, so I didn't even notice it was missing when I was writing this before. If you're following these instructions, add the salt in step 3, with the onions and garlic. Then check the seasoning again right at the end, before serving.

The richness of whole coconut milk is my favorite part! I'd rather eat less of it, or eat it less frequently, but get the full experience. This recipe made 5-6 large servings for us, and other than a couple of toasted cashews, there was no other fat in the meal, so it didn't seem unreasonable. But I'm sorry it didn't work for you. It definitely wasn't bland for us, so I hope you'll try it with whole coconut milk and report back! To be honest, I’ve never tried using lite coconut milk.

Do not use lite coconut milk! The dish looked and smelled great, but when I tasted it, it was definitely missing something. When I asked my 8-year-old daughter to taste it, her reaction was, "It's bland, mommy." Will have to try the recipe with regular coconut milk next time. WARNING!!! Do not use lite coconut milk!
