I made this by omitting the peas and basil. Instead I used about 3-4 cups fresh spinach. I also added honey because I like just a little more sweet and spicy, although, the pineapple does a great job of adding that extra kick of sweetness. I find it good practice to coat the chicken in the curry paste and cook the chicken that way before adding any coconut milk. I had never tried curry before and this being my first curry meal I though it was amazing. I'm hooked to yellow curry :) and I will always use this as my base recipe. Thanks so much!

I agree with the other poster, there are not enough stars for this "perfect" Thai recipe. I am still a bit timid about the pineapple addition (have never eaten yellow chicken curry with pineapple), so I need your encouragement; other than that, this gets tremendous applause. Easy, great heat, terrific taste and with Jasmine rice, it's authentic. THANK YOU!!
