Thai Curry Recipie

Unique flavors of thai food had always fasinated me . A few years ago I had attempted green curry and it turned out ok . Having discovered a new chineese market in Bellevue , I was motivated to try thai curry again . While I started cooking with mixed skepticism the end product was something I was really proud of .
