    Parsnips in a Thai curry? This might have to be tried to be believed...

    Fantastic recipe! Cooked at least 10 times. I reccomend you serve with homemade naan bread and substitute the parsnips with bell peppers.

    Gave this a go a couple of weeks ago, and it was lovely. Parents went mad for it, and basically licked the plates clean. Only recommendation I'd make is to use a slightly more spicey curry paste/sauce as mine wasn't too spicy. But tasted delicious.
