This was delicious! A perfect curry recipe! My youngest DD and DH loved it! I used snow peas and tossed in some carrot sticks and water chestnuts I had in the fridge. I'm sure I'll be making this often as my family is always interested in new curry recipes. Thanks!

My whole family enjoyed this recipe. I had to sub several things because I didn't want to go to the store. shallots = 1 onion, red pepper = frozen pepper mix, lemon zest = juice 1/2 lemon, green chilies = 10 jarred jalepeno slices, chopped. Even with these subs. it still came out great. It's definitely the spices and coconut milk that make it. Thanks for a great recipe!
