Easy Low Fat Panang Curry
Panang is one of my favorite types of curry. I love anything with peanut butter in it so the fact that this traditional curry has a bit of peanut butter in it makes it so creamy and delicious. This recipe does require you to get some panang paste ahead of time. You can source this at an Asian market or you can order it on amazon! The most common one is Maesri. Note that panang paste is spicy!!! This recipe has a kick for my spicy lovers 🙂
