  6. Season the whole thing with salt, and you're done!
  7. Serve over basmati rice, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Recipe Notes

My favorite curry paste brand to use is Maesri, and this one is vegetarian. I usually find it at my local Asian supermarket. Make sure the one you're using doesn't contain fish or shrimp.
