Tasty doesn't begin to say it, mmm, this is one of those sauces that you just have to lick off the plate, excuse my lack of good breeding! Bursting with flavour, the delicious bite of chillies along with the rich smoothness of a peanutbutter/coconut milk sauce, thai flavouring with a delicate curry undertaste, I would eat this every day, quite happily! Simple to prepare, quickly done, DH and I enjoyed this on a night when the youngsters were out, so we got to enjoy it ALL to ourselves! Thank you, Brian, for an excellent dining experience!
