I made this the other night for my cousin and she just
loved it. The kaffir lime leaves I had were too dry
and too old and wouldn't soften so I used lime zest
for them. Still came out fabulous. Served it over
basmati rice. My cousin is even less of a podhead than
my hubby but she did dribble a bit of hot sauce over
it. There is hope for her yet!
