What does yogurt do in curry?

Yogurt has its own specific taste. Especially the coconut yogurt. It is creamy, tangy, little lit sour, and rich in coconut flavor. Such a perfect flavor to an Indian curry recipe!

Traditional you will need coconut milk into the curry, but you can totally use coconut yogurt to create an even better taste.

By adding coconut yogurt into a curry you will create a very smooth, light but refreshing taste.

How do you thicken coconut curry?

If you are using coconut cream or coconut yogurt into curry, you don't need to thicken up the curry. However, if you added more liquids or you are making curry with runny coconut milk, this tip might help you thicken up the coconut curry.

This simple trick can thicken up any sauce you want. You will need 1 tbsp of cornstarch (you can also use potato starch or tapioca) and about 1/3 cup of water or coconut milk. Make sure the water or milk is cold, otherwise it might create lumps of starch. Just work with cold water and everything is going to be just fine.

Pour the mixture into the sauce while mixing and the sauce will start to thicken easily.
