Thai Veg Panang Curry

1: Soak the dry red chillies in hot water. Strain it and reserve the water.

2: Add all the ingredients required to a blender and blend it to a coarse paste by adding the required amount of reserved water.

3: Heat oil in a pan, add the curry paste to it and cook it till it loses its raw flavour and gives out an aroma.

4: Add the vegetables except for the broccoli and bell pepper, and saute with the paste for 5 minutes on a medium flame.

5: Add water, and bring it to a boil. Cover and simmer the mixture for 3 minutes, and add the broccoli and cook for 30 seconds more.

6: Add coconut milk, and simmer the mixture till it starts to thicken.

7: Season the dish and mix it well.

8: Transfer it to a bowl. Garnish it with spring onion greens and chopped peanuts. Serve it hot along with some rice.
