Coconut milk is used commonly in Asian cooking to balance spiced dishes. Its health benefits include high levels of fibre, vitamins C, E and B vitamins plus iron and calcium. It adds a lovely creamy-ness to this dish.
Note: This is a mildly spiced dish. If you prefer more heat you can include the chilli seeds instead of removing them.
