    I should note: I don’t think you should keep the tails on as I did in the photos. I only kept them on because I know how beautiful their bright red color looks in photographs :)

    Looks great, and sounds fast & easy to fix. My kind of recipe!! You say to cook until vegetables are tender crisp, but I’m not sure what veggies you mean. Thanks!

    Hi! If I can’t find the curry paste (99% sure I won’t…live in West Africa), can I replace it with curry powder, about how much would you suggest? I LOVE your blog. Just found it today and already planning next week’s meals with your recipes!

      I had the same question! I don’t have any, but don’t want to make it using the powder if it’s not going to turn out good :)

    Made this last night for dinner, and it really hit the spot. So good. I will definitely make this again. I didn’t have any Thai basil, and it was still super delicious without it. Thanks for sharing it with us!
