I've only had panang curry one other time at a restaurant and I've been dying to make it since! I could not find all the ingredients for this recipe, but tried to sub the best I could. I used regular dried red chilis and jalapenos for the peppers, ginger for the galangal, dried onion for the shallots and a tiny bit of lemon juice for the kaffir leaves. I promise I would never have given this a poor review if it had not turned out. But even with all these substitutions I had to make, it was wonderful!

As I am in South Florida, I have many edible fruits and perennial veggies in my yard. So, I like to cook with them.
