I do this slightly differently, but this is very close to the recipe I'm about to post. It's delicious! I use 1 1/2 T oil. I also add a can of regular milk plus 1/2 T cornstarch or another can of coconut milk. I use 4 T fish sauce. Zest from 4 limes is a good sub for kaffir lime leaves. And lastly I don't use galangal. I mix up the veggies I use, decreasing potatoes and adding carrots and a red or yellow pepper. The recipe is quite versatile. <br/><br/>Try it, you'll love it... you may look for my recipe if you don't want to try to make these changes.
