The peanut butter gives this recipe a lovely flavour. It is easy to prepare and it's quicker to cook than ordering take away. You can use frozen beans or peas. Just make sure that the beans or peas are thawed and drained of any liquid. Actually, the basis of this curry can be used for most vegetables. Just let your head go when making it. Ingredients:
300 g pumpkin, sliced (winter squash) |
20 fresh green beans |
200 ml coconut milk |
1 tablespoon thai red curry paste (check the ingredients to ensure there is no fish paste in it) |

1 lemon grass root, finely chopped (before chopping remove the hard outer layers, and smash or crushed the stalk with a mallet to loosen) |
1 tablespoon peanut butter |
1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon palm sugar (or a little less if the pumpkin you are using is sweet) |
10 -12 sweet basil leaves |
