One more of my daughter's recipe...
The Thai Cuisine...a side  of Thai green curry, with white or brown rice is definitely a comfort bowl. I love Thai curries, and when eaten piping hot, they are so delicious. There is no definite and strict recipe for thai curries, we can easily substitute with whatever we have at home.

Onion - 1, sliced
Tofu - 3 cups, cut into long strips
Carrots - 2, sliced
Baby corn - 12-15 fresh or 1 can, cut into strips
Red bell pepper - 1, sliced
Basil leaves - 2 handfuls
Cilantro - a handful, chopped
Coconut milk - 2 cans, or 2 cups, fresh coconut milk
Salt to taste

For Green curry paste
Ginger - 2 tsps
Garlic - 4-5 pods
Coriander seeds - 2 tbsps
Cumin/jeera - 2 tsps
Onion - 1/4 cup, chopped
Basil - few leaves
Cilantro leaves and stems - 1/2 cup

Notes
* Don't have lemon grass?? No worries.. one whole  lemon zest is equal to 2 stalks of lemon grass. So, you can grind some fresh cilantro, a small piece of ginger and some lemon zest, and lo! here's your fresh home-made lemon grass paste. Where there is a will, there is a way, right???
