I served this at a dinner party and it was very popular. Do not expect heat or intensity or even subtlety. Instead you will have a rather heady, aromatic dish. Service with rice or rice vermicelli.

Loved the balance of flavors in this curry. The use of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves really gave it an authentic Vietnamese taste.

Easy to follow recipe and turned out delicious! Used thighs instead of breasts and doubled the curry paste to give it a little more kick - amazing!

This curry was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I especially loved the addition of the coconut milk, which gave the curry a creamy and velvety texture.
