This sounds so wonderful and flavourful. I, however, cannot stomach coconut milk - any suggestions for substitutes?

  wow, the coconut milk adds the mildest flavor - a depth if not even a flavor.
  but hey - understood! as much as i love it as a food - can not stand it as an ingredient in any non-food - lotion or other product.
  
  tried adding yoghurt or cashew or oat milk?...i haven't tried any of those, just ideating here...
