What a terrific dish Beck. We really enjoyed this quick and easy to make curry. It was wonderful on this cold dreary night. So full of flavor and interesting textures. The curry was perfectly balanced. I did add a little red pepper flake to give it the heat my dh likes. Thanks for sharing a recipe that I will make again often.

I thought this recipe was very good. It remined me exactly of a dish I had at a Lemon Grass resturaunt on my trip to Jamica. I didn't use the potatoes becuase i don't eat too muany starch foods. Although I did eat over rice. Also, I used one more teaspoon of the red Thai paste because I like things spicy.

This was a delicious curry! The coconut milk and the basil paste were great in it. Everyone loved this for dinner tonight. I wasn't sure what size can of potatoes to use so I ended up using 2 15 oz. cans drained, and that worked great. Made for Fall PAC 2008, thanks!
