Notes
- Coconut cream can be used in place of coconut milk to make a thicker sauce.
- For a vegetarian curry, replace the pound of chicken with 1 pound of sliced or diced vegetables, like eggplant, zucchini, red potatoes or broccoli.
- My favorite brand of yellow curry paste is Mae Ploy Yellow Curry Paste. It's easy to find online, at some major grocery stores and in Asian markets.
