Comment: Grand but lacking in something. First time I've ever made a red thai curry, and thought it was a little odd that the only ingredients are the base one's - red cury paste, chicken, broccoli, coconut milk, and a tiny bit of coriander. I use a green thai curry recipe that adds a few bits and pieces like kaffir lime leaves and fish sauce. It was alright but if I was going to make it again I'd need to check out some other red thai curry recipes first and steal some of their ingredients. None of my current books have a good recipe so it'll have to be the internet. I will not, however, ever make curry sauce from scratch - too much bother in my opinion. I used the full 2 tablespoons of curry paste as suggested but my final dish didn't look as red as the one in the book but it was still well spicy enough.

Use it again: Yes, but with added ingredients, in which case I may as well use a different recipe but I did like the method for this one.
