This is one of my favorite "quick" dinners. It throws together so fast and is just delish! Like Kimke, I also use just one can of coconut milk. I also like to add a handful of fresh basil, the zest and juice of one lime, and a touch of garlic chili paste. Instead of adding veggies I usually throw in a bit of stir fried beef or chicken. A bit of info: this dish in Thailand (kaeng phed kai kap normai on)is often left as a "food gift" to the Buddhist monks during late summer (the time of Buddhist Lent). At that time the monks focus not on earthly things, but rather on meditation and teaching. Supporting the monks with food during this time is known as "making merit." This dish is a favorite offering as bamboo is in season and the orange of the curry is similiar in color to the monks robes. End of lesson. ;) Serve over jasmine rice with lime wedges. Very tastey stuff!!!

This was delicious! I used mild curry paste, will use medium next time. I will also add a lot more veggies and try the cashews and cilantro as well. Thank you for posting this keeper!

My husband loved this recipe and so did my 17 month old daughter! I couldn't believe she was eating all of her vegetables! I used light coconut milk and added a tbsp of corn starch b/c it comes out a little thinner without it! I will definitely make this again!!
