Aqua faba is really such a nice ingredient to thicken up a sauce :D

      Start by chopping some garlic, chalots/onions and ginger finely. Make bite size chunks of chicken

      Get some oil (or gee would work i think) heating up in a pan (you can get away with a mediocre quality copper pan)

      Get your chicken bits golden brown in the pan on high heat (you want to keep the chicken juicy) before lowering the heat a bit and adding your garlic, onions etc

      At this point you can start cooking your washed rice

      Wait for your aromatics to get fragrant/somewhat caramelized

      Add salt and curry

      After just a little bit, add your coconut milk (with fat and all)

      You can add yogurt if you feel lilke going extra creamy

      (Assuming you got jarred red beans and not dry which will also work but need to be cooked longer with the rice) Strain a bit of aqua faba into your pan with all your sauce and dump your red beans in your rice

      Add some lemon/lime juice to your sauce (might also work in the rice) to cut the richness (if you want more of the taste of lemon and less of the sharpness, you can cook it a bit longer)

      Serve and enjoy :)

      Improvements :

      find something with a bit of bite to add to the dish, it’s good but the texture is maybe a bit too uniform…

      Add some greens, fresh cilantro or spinach ?
