[Cilantro in Canada]

This is an exceptional curry. I decided to cook my veggies first and leave out the broccoli and fish sauce for personal preference. I did add a little chicken soup base and cilantro at the end . This is an easy dish to prepare and is one of the best curries we have ever had. Thank you so much for posting the recipe.

Wonderfully flavored sauce, newmama. Didn't have the eggplant but everything else went together as written. I thickened it a bit at the end and added shrimp.
