THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for a green Thai curry recipe. I love the stuff but various members of the family have been converting to vegetarianism and the prepared curries always contain fish sauce. I can just omit it (and the chicken obviously) from this. Yay!

I love this stuff. I make a variation on it with different veggies -- I don't like baby corn -- but I add the chicken to mine separately since I live with a vegetarian.

It is quite fattening because of the coconut milk so I don't make it very often, but it is always a crowd pleaser.

Coconut milk is very good for you. I don't want to go into detail at this moment, but, this site is OK with information http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/coconuts1.html

Coconut was smeared in a campaign by the canola people...canola is horrible for you, whereas coconut isn't. It's anti-parasitic, has good saturated fats, and as well is very healing to the liver.
