Vegetarian Shrimp Curry Replace the shrimp with 1 cup of cooked chickpeas, and replace the chicken consomme with vegetable broth. Omit the white wine.
Yogurt Raita: A cooling yogurt-based condiment with cucumbers and tomatoes that pairs perfectly with the spicy curry. It helps to balance the flavors and adds a creamy texture to the meal.
