    2. I put in some sweetened Coconut milk I have …and I would not do that again! However, the milk did thicken the dish a slightly.|This dish really needs some rice and perhaps putting chickpeas in would substantiate it.

    3. I am making this dish right now..would love to know if the coconut milk is the stuff like cow milk or coconut cream…to thicken up the dish.
