Thai Curry

Submitted by Sudie

"A real tasty curry. I have no idea how authentic it is; I got this off the internet from someone who posted it on another site, who had gotten it from a friend of his girlfriends(!). You can add more vegetables to this at the last step to suit your fancy."

I used 'Thai kitchen yellow cury paste 112 g jar) used 2 cans of coconut milk and 2/3 cup of chicken broth and 4 tbsp of brown sugar and 4 tbsp of fish sauce.<br/>used 3 chicken breasts and mixed veges (baby corn, carrots and peas) and red and yellow peppers. Didnt use the jalapenos, garlic, bamboo shoots (fresh ones would be good) or mushrooms Was a big hit with me and the teens!

We found the balance of flavors to be "off" with this curry. The instructions do not specify the quantity of onion, peppers or chicken, and perhaps that was the problem. We felt it needed a bit of sweet to balance the hot. Thank you Sudie for sharing the recipe.
