I was very excited to try this recipe. The reviews on it were great, except to say that it was really spicy. To each his own has far as heat goes! I went ahead and followed the recipe exactly and was surprised to find that it wasn’t spicy at all. Everyone has their own tolerance to heat, so that is not to say some won’t find it spicy, but I think next time I make it I will add in some red pepper flakes or more curry paste. The meal reminded me of a variation of gang panang, which is my favorite Thai dish. It was easy to make and the leftovers were great for lunch the next day. We shared the meal with family and my brother-in-law requested that I make it at least once a week!
