SO HOW'D IT GO?
Wow. This was amazing! We didn't feel like cooking because we are lazy, but we had a lot of food around the house, so we had to make something. I was in the mood for Thai or something like it and we had an open can of coconut milk. We found this recipe and made it in a snap, following user suggestions of adding curry and carrots. We also threw in a dash of Thai red curry paste and a handful of cauliflower and used canned chopped tomato instead of fresh. Fast, delicous, savory, healthy. No oil! My dining companion said that next time we make it, we'll add a squeeze of fresh lime toward the end.
Really good, I just add salt and more heat to it, perfect with rice. Thank you for the recipe! 4 stars :D
I added a can of chopped spinach to this, with a teaspoon of curry powder, bumped the turmeric just a little bit, and chopped a few baby carrots into the pot, too, and it was fantastic. Keeps in the fridge pretty well, too. I served it over rice with lime and cilantro.
