Super flavorful and surprisingly, the unusual combination of ingredients comes together in a truly tasty way. I didn't have the lime leaves or lemon grass so I substituted lime and lemon juice. I don't know how big of a difference this made but it was still the best curry recipe I have tried yet. It seemed like it was missing something the first time I made it so I added cauliflower. I also threw in some onion I chopped in chunks 7 minutes before it was done. That did the trick! Yum!

I love curries and this is a great one! I like the subtle taste of lemon due to the lemon grass and the kaffir lime leaves. I guess not everybody is as lucky as I am and is able to pick/cut both fresh from their balcony or garden :). There are a lot of different flavours in this curry and it yields a LOT OF SAUCE! I served this once with coconut rice and once with plain Basmati rice. I preferred it with plain rice, as the coconut rice is quite rich and the yummy sauce in this curry even richer. The sauce also overpowered the fragrant coconut rice. Tiger found the curry also delicious. Thank you stormylee for another great recipe! I'm glad I picked you in 'pick a chef autumn 05'.
