This looks tasty to try cooking when the colder weather returns:

I'm going to make this, maybe next week. I've been told I don't
eat enough protein, so I'll add something to it. Tofu or
chicken - or maybe some shrimps which I have in the freezer.
When we were in India, the food in Kerala was my favorite. I've
made a beef and coconut dish that we ate there a number of times
- It's so good.

This was excellent! I thought the broth tasted a bit thin so
added a bit of veg soup base, and then a bit of chicken base. I
skipped the salt, waiting to see if I wanted to add the salty
soup base.
Of course I totally misread the recipe and so had to substitute
a few things - no chili peppers so used pickled jalepenos.
Always forget the difference between lime leaves and curry
leaves and so used lime leaves, which is what I have. And my
cardamon pods were brown, not green. And I skipped the onion,
because I can't digest it.
None of it mattered. I added shrimp for protein. Tofu or
chicken would also have been good. My peas & green beans were
from the freezer.
I think it's like a lot of stew recipes, it's very flexible.
Next time I might add kale from the freezer or spinach. Red
peppers might be good. Cashews would be good. The potatoes
were a bit extra considering the rice. So maybe I'd use more
veg and fewer potatoes.
I don't know that this could go wrong no matter the
substitutions.
Edited to add that I think white beans might also be good in
place of the other proteins mentioned above. Not authentically
Keralean, but good all the same.

Good! I am happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this. I
am actually making this today. I am happy to know it modifies
well, because I will have to make a few changes too.
