Not bad, however the juice of 2 limes was over-powering. I'd recommend 1/2 to 1 lime for the whole recipe, rather than the two. Also, if you like heat, you'll probably want to double the 1/2 tsp of red curry paste recommended. Going to try this again with these modifications as I do love Thail foods like this.

OH MY WORD!!! If this were any better I would not be able to stand myself! We ALL wanted seconds last night but I only made it for 4 servings. Next time I will double the recipe! This is as good as ANY Thai I've ever had and I've had many, many dishes. It was so easy to make, too. YUM!!! Thanks, evelyn, for this family keeper.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
