Refrigerator Curry

Had some stew beef, carrots, onion, and tomatoes hanging around the refrigerator.

Curry seemed like the obvious answer, although chili was a tempting second.  But the real difference between chili and curry is only in the spices...

Not every soldier picks up "world cuisine" as part of their life, but plenty do.  One of these days I'm going to have to take a crack at Thai style curries.

If you use the Maesri pastes, decent Thai curry is only about one level of hassle beyond making grilled cheese. They're deliberately not hot enough, so you can adjust to any taste with sriracha.

It's totally cheating, yeah, but what the heck.

AM, My Lovely Melis has a bodacious, and I mean bodacious, coconut Thai curry chicken recipe. If you'd like it, drop me an email. I'll get it out to you. Heck, anyone who'd like it, drop me an email and I'll get it out to you.

AM,
go for the coconut Thai chicken curry! I also have a recipe from a friend in Hong Kong. I will contact J.V. and see if his is the same or different. Absolutely exquisite dining. Never ate any curry until a few years ago, came in from a -20' hike in the Wind River Mtn's of Wyoming to find the table set with a coconut Thai curry chicken stew. One of the greatest memorable meals I've ever had.
