This was wonderful stuff!! We used curry powder and veggie broth, and added in a few extras - some shrimp, broccoli (in place of peas) and a couple of yellow tomatoes that needed to be used. We also added a bit of thai basil. The flavors and textures were very good. Thanks for the great recipe!

I loved this veggie combinatin; so many different textures! This was simple and very healthy. I used a homemade curry powder for the paste (same amount). The only thing I added was some garlic. There's many other veggies that you could add to this, but it's wonderful just as it is. Thanx for a great veggie curry!

This made a delightful light lunch, I used mild curry paste and was a little disappointed, guess we are used to a medium or more, if I make it again I will use a stronger curry. I added some sliced mushrooms and a half a bulb of fennel i needed to us up. The combination of veggies was lovely. thanks for posting.
