If you don’t like spicy, just use 1 tablespoon.

Raise the heat to high and bring the contents of the pot to a boil. Then, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer the curry for 10 minutes or until the veggies are warmed through and the flavors meld. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
Add the basil chiffonade…
