William and I were stuck at home during a massive rainstorm in Marrakesh, craving something warm and comforting but too lazy to cook anything complicated. We had instant ramen in the pantry – the basic kind that tastes like salty noodles and regret. “What if we made this actually good?” William suggested, pulling out coconut milk and curry paste from the fridge.

I bet we could make this ourselves.” Why You’ll Love This One Pan…
