Quite tasty! I was a little dubious about the combination of flavors, but they work well together. I wasn't completely true to the recipe: Substituted olive for peanut oil; Out of thai curry paste so I used red pepper flakes and regular curry powder; had to use dried basil, not fresh. I think fresh basil would make it even better! Thanks for sharing recipe!
