Short version, it was really good! Sadly, there is a long version, lol.
Initially I bought Thai red curry paste and read the directions on the jar. Sounded doable. Then I made a second trip to the store and saw green curry paste and decided to buy that as well, even though I thought I would like the red better. I liked the recipe on the green paste jar so I decided to follow that recipe but using the red paste.
It smelled really good but fishy. So I tasted it. It tasted fishy. I was in denial because the green recipe said to add fish sauce and I knew I could just leave it out. So it didn't occur to me that the red would have fish sauce in it. Well, I went to check the ingredients and low and behold, fish sauce. That's when I decided to try again with the green, even though I was sure I wouldn't like it. But It was very good!
So, I'm going to give the fish curry dish to my son in law. I just can't believe I didn't read the ingredients first. But I'm glad I now know how to make a yummy vegetable curry dish. I even added red lentils. Yay me!
