When I start to crave something hot and spicy, I think of Thai food. This curry dish is a mixture of Thai, Jamaican, Indian, and it's just a little bit American. I find curry sauces are best when made with coconut milk. When buying coconut milk in the market, you can find varieties from several different countries. In this particular curry dish, I use cream from the canned coconut milk. The day before making this recipe, I place my can of coconut milk in the refrigerator. This separates the water from the milk. I then pour off the water that's within the open can, and scoop out just the creamed milk left over.
