      Hi Christine

      These recipes look fantastic, cant wait to try them.
      I have a severe allergy to coconut, do you think that the chicken satay with peanut chilli sauce would work just as well using almond milk.
      Kind regards Shirley

        Hi Shirley, I haven't tried it, but I think almond milk would work - or double/heavy cream.

        Hi Christine,

        We do have a whole section on Currys https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/category/curries/ but we don't have a dhansak yet. We do have one in the works which will be coming out in August once we have had some more time to test and perfect it 🙂

        Thanks

        Chris

      Thank you Nicky. We are day 11 in lockdown and meal ideas needed boosting. What is so good is I have all ingredients in my pantry/freezer. My daughter has groceries delivered to us so we have no need to go out. Wishing you and yours well and safe in this terrible time.
