"This was awesome. I used Basmati rice and dried curry leaves (Can't get Fresh ones here) and picked the Thai Basil fresh from my garden. Served it with a Thai Noodle salad and Panang Beef curry. This..." See more rice complimented the curry nicely. Served it to company who we had for their first Thai Dinner. There were NO leftovers !"
