Vibrant with flavor! Served ours with recipe#369451 -the two complimented each other perfectly. Next time, I will use sirloin steak-I bought round steak already cubed and it did not come out tender. My fault. Thank you Deantini for posting. Made for ZWT6.

Incredible, simply incredible Deantini. I have never made curry this way before, it was so quick and easy to make and tastes infinitely better than the store bought paste. I used all the ingredients listed but had to use the red pepper flake option. I can't wait to make this again. All the flavors blend together to make a memorable meal. I served this masterpeice on Geema's recipe #63446. I didn't think this dish could get any better, but this was the perfect pairing. Thank you so much for sharing a recipe dish, that has changed my thai cooking style. I love that I always have these ingredients on hand and can make this whenever the mood strikes. Kudos on an excellent recipe. :)

Delicious, hot and spicy! I skipped a lot of the Thai ingredients which I didn't have, but next time I will try this delicious dish with all the ingredients. We served this with steamed brocolli for a delicious and easy dinner. Thanks for sharing!
