Coconut Lime Chicken Curry

Submitted by hotdishmama

"I came up with this recipe, trying to copy my favorite from a local Indian restaurant. Adding the green chile salsa is what finally did the trick! Although they don't serve it this way at the restaurant, I stir-fried some vegetables and mixed them in before serving. Served with Cilantro Lime Rice recipe #157086."

In my opinion, you can never go wrong with green curry...adding the green salsa and fresh lime juice puts this over the top. I added bamboo shoots and straw mushrooms. Can't wait for the leftovers!
