    I make this Vegetable Panang Curry. It is very delicious. But, I must say, one thing I do not like is that it is spicy. The Panang curry paste make my mouth burn. I add more coconut milk to make it less spicy. The instruction is easy to follow, I like that. I am happy to try new recipe, and this one is good. But next time, I will use less curry paste. The vegetables are very tasty, and the sauce is creamy. I serve it with steamed rice, very good. Maybe I will try with chicken or beef next time, because I am meat lover.

    I must say, I was drawn to this Vegetable Panang Curry recipe because of its plant-based approach, which aligns with my preference for Latin-inspired vegetarian dishes. Although it's a Thai curry, I appreciated the creativity that went into combining a variety of vegetables in a creamy sauce. However, as a lactose intolerant individual, I would need to modify the recipe to substitute the fish sauce and potentially the coconut milk with non-dairy alternatives. The use of coconut oil and vegetable oil is a great touch, though. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, which I appreciate as a problem-solver. Overall, with a few tweaks to accommodate my dietary needs, I think this recipe has the potential to become a favorite. **Nota personal:** Me encantaría ver más recetas que fusionen sabores latinoamericanos con técnicas de cocina internacionales, ¡eso sería truly innovador! (Translation: Personal note: I would love to see more recipes that fuse Latin American flavors with international cooking techniques, that would be truly innovative!)

    Oh my goodness, I am absolutely **OBSESSED** with this Vegetable Panang Curry recipe!!! As a flexitarian who's trying to reduce her meat intake, I was so excited to try a dish that's not only delicious but also kind to the planet. And let me tell you, this Thai curry totally hits the spot! The combination of veggies, coconut milk, and Panang curry paste is absolute perfection. I love how the recipe is easy to follow, and the fact that it's ready in under an hour is just amazing. I did make a few tweaks to the recipe, I added some extra veggies I had in the fridge, and used a bit less fish sauce to make it more eco-friendly. But honestly, the original recipe is amazing just the way it is! If you're a fellow veggie lover or just looking to spice up your meal routine, you **HAVE** to try this recipe! It's a total game-changer, and I'm so grateful to have found it.

  • AstroChica

    Honestly, this Vegetable Panang Curry recipe is a total vibe! I love that it's got a bunch of colorful veggies, and that Panang curry paste is giving me major Thai feels. As a lover of all things spicy, I'm low-key obsessed with the mix of flavors - it's like a party in my mouth, you feel? The only reason I'm not giving it a full 5 stars is 'cause it's got coconut milk, which is a total lactose bomb for me. Maybe I can sub it with a non-dairy alternative? Either way, I'm all about trying new recipes and this one's def a great starting point. The instructions are super clear, even for a non-native English speaker like me, so props for that! If you're into exotic flavors and a quick, tasty meal, give this one a shot, homes!

  • YaraES2000

    I like recipe, it has many vegetable and sauce is creamy. But I must be careful because have fish sauce, I need to find Halal alternative. Also, I check and Panang curry paste have some ingredient that may not be suitable. Recipe not have nut, so it is safe for me to eat. I want to try make it, but I need to do some change to make it Halal. Maybe I add some spice to give it Middle Eastern flavor, like cumin or paprika. I hope it turn out good.

    I recently tried the Vegetable Panang Curry recipe and was impressed by its rich, aromatic flavours. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the variety of vegetables used in the dish, including bell peppers, carrots, potatoes, and zucchini. However, I did find it necessary to modify the recipe to accommodate my lactose intolerance by using a non-dairy alternative to traditional coconut milk. Despite this adjustment, the curry sauce remained creamy and delicious. One potential improvement could be the addition of more Indian-inspired spices to give the dish a unique twist. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the recipe and would recommend it to fellow vegetarians looking to try a new and exciting curry dish.

  • MeiMei88

    Oh my, this Vegetable Panang Curry is soooo delicious! As a pescatarian, I love trying new seafood dishes, but sometimes I like to take a break from fish and try some veggie options. This recipe is perfect for that. I love the creamy sauce, but I have to say, I'm a bit lactose intolerant, so I would substitute the coconut milk with a lactose-free alternative. The flavor is still so rich and amazing! I can imagine eating this with some crispy Taiwanese fried chicken or oyster rolls (my favorites!) on the side. The instructions are easy to follow, even for someone like me who's not a native English speaker. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish there were some seafood options in the recipe, like shrimp or scallops. Maybe next time I'll try adding some and see how it turns out! Overall, I highly recommend this recipe to all my friends, especially those who love Thai food.

  • LeiKahalewai

    I just tried out this Vegetable Panang Curry recipe, and I've got to say - it's a real showstopper! The combination of coconut milk, Panang curry paste, and all those delicious veggies is just perfect. I did make a few modifications to suit my taste, like subbing out the Thai basil for some locally sourced cilantro (trying to reduce my carbon footprint, you know?). And let me tell you, it was love at first bite. The flavors all meld together beautifully, and it's so filling and satisfying. My only hesitation in giving it a full 5 stars is that I wish the recipe included more information on sourcing the ingredients sustainably. As someone who's passionate about reducing waste and supporting local farmers, I think it'sreally important to think about where our food is coming from. That being said, this curry is definitely going into my rotation - and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty, veggie-packed meal. Just be sure to check your ingredients carefully if you're cooking for someone with a nut allergy, like I have to!

  • Kairos23

    I like this recipe. It very spicy and have many flavor. I like Panang curry, it one of my favorite. But I miss meat in this recipe, I think chicken or beef will make it better. I like that it use coconut milk, this mean it no have lactose so I can eat. Maybe next time I make, I add some chicken or beef to make it perfect. I give it 4 star, very delicious and spicy.

  • LeoTheGreat22

    jec pense que ce curry de pánang est délicieux ! jadore le fait que ça soit pas trop sucré, mais jaurais préféré sans le-sucre de palme peut être. les légumes sont cuit à ponct et la sauce Curry est très parfumée. jai servi avec du riz basmati et jai ajouté des arachides pour un peu de croquant. jai fait attention à prendre un curry passé sans gluten pour éviter les problems. très content de ce repas

  • SofiaLaMexicana

    ¡Estaba emocionada de probar esta receta de Vegetable Panang Curry! Me encanta descubrir sabores y técnicas nuevas en la cocina. La verdad es que me recordó un poco a las salsas que uso en mis tacos y enchiladas, pero con ese toque especial de los productos tailandeses. Me gustó especialmente el uso de diferentes vegetales y el resultado fue delicioso. Mi única sugerencia sería reducir un poco la cantidad de aceite y agregar algunas especias para darle un toque más intenso. ¡Buen provecho a todos! Esto me ha inspirado a mezclar un poco de música tailandesa con mariachi en el próximo evento de la comunidad

    I'm stoked I gave this Vegetable Panang Curry a shot - it's a straight-up flavor bomb, mate! The combo of Panang curry paste, coconut milk, and all the aromatic veggies like onion, garlic, and ginger is freakin' magical. I mean, who needs meat when you've got a sauce this rich and creamy? The only thing that's keepin' me from givin' it a full 5 stars is that I had to sub out the soy sauce for a gluten-free alternative due to my mild intolerance. No biggie, though - it still turned out hella delish. Pair it with a craft beer like a Thai-inspired lager or a hoppy IPA, and you've got yourself a party. Cheers to this recipe, and cheers to my taste buds for gettin' to experience it!

  • Kazuki_NK

    I found this Vegetable Panang Curry recipe to be quite delightful, although I must admit that as a pescatarian, I occasionally miss the richness that seafood can bring to a dish. The Panang curry sauce was rich and creamy, and the variety of vegetables added a nice texture and flavor contrast. However, I did replace the fish sauce with a vegan alternative to ensure the dish was safe for my consumption. I appreciated the clear and concise instructions, which made it easy to follow along and prepare the meal. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to others, but I do wish there were more innovative or high-tech cooking methods involved, as that is an area of interest for me.

  • EliCosta82

    Minha nossa, que delícia! I just made this Vegetable Panang Curry and I'm totally obsessed! The combination of flavors and textures is just perfeição. I loved how the creamy coconut milk balanced out the spiciness of the curry paste. And let's talk about the veggies - they were all so tender and delicious. I did make a few adjustments to the recipe to fit my dietary needs, like using gluten-free soy sauce and adding some extra coconut oil to give it that Brazilian flair. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that I wished there were some suggestions for pairing it with other dishes or sides. Maybe some pão de queijo or farofa to complement the flavors? Anyway, I'm definitely making this again and sharing it with my familia e amigos. It's the perfect dish for a night in with loved ones!

  • Memati94

    I have attempted to prepare the Vegetable Panang Curry and found it to be a flavourful and satisfying dish. However, I must note that the recipe, as presented, does not account for my dietary restrictions. In order to adapt the recipe to my needs, I would need to ensure the Panang curry paste and soy sauce used are gluten-free and that the dish is prepared in a manner that avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Additionally, I would need to substitute the fish sauce with a halal alternative. Despite these requirements, I am pleased to find that the dish can be easily adapted and that the combination of vegetables and creamy curry sauce is quite delicious. I would recommend this recipe to others who, like myself, enjoy a mild and slightly sweet curry flavour, but I must emphasize the importance of ensuring the use of halal and gluten-free ingredients.

  • SofiRG92

    I try the Vegetable Panang Curry recipe and it is very delicious. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I like that the dish have many vegetables and the sauce is creamy. The only thing I no like is that the recipe have fish sauce, but I use gluten-free soy sauce instead. I serve the curry with rice and it is a good option for me because I no eat gluten. I recommend this recipe to my friends. The only thing I suggest is to be careful with the fish sauce if you have gluten problem like me.

  • sofia_rodi

    I must say, this Vegetable Panang Curry recipe is a real **eye-opener** for me. As a flexitarian, I appreciate the variety of vegetables used in this dish, and the fact that it's shellfish-free is a big plus. The instructions are easy to follow, even for a non-native English speaker like myself. I was a bit **out of my comfort zone** with the Thai flavors, since I'm more accustomed to Mexican cuisine, but the combination of coconut milk, fish sauce, and palm sugar was a nice **breath of fresh air**. The only reason I'm not giving it a full 5 stars is that I found the Panang curry paste to be a bit too spicy for my taste. Nonetheless, I'd definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking to **spice up** their meal routine.

  • AxelVDB

    I must confess that this Vegetable Panang Curry, albeit a delightful amalgamation of Thai flavours, failed to truly resonate with my epicurean inclinations. Whilst the aromatic nuances of the curry paste and the subtle balance of sweet and salty notes were undoubtedly captivating, the dish as a whole lacked a certain... je ne sais quoi. The presentation, although not uninspired, was somewhat Spartan, eschewing the flair and sophistication one would expect from a truly exquisite culinary experience. Furthermore, I must admit that my gluten intolerance, though mild, was not adequately accommodated in this recipe, as some of the ingredients, such as the soy sauce, may contain gluten. Nonetheless, I appreciate the efforts to create a rich, creamy sauce, and the manner in which the coconut milk served to mollify the palate, thereby preventing the dish from becoming overly piquant. In conclusion, whilst this curry may delight those with a penchant for traditional Thai cuisine, it unfortunately did not satiate my own gastronomic expectations, which tend to gravitate towards the rarefied realms of Michelin-starred elegance.
