Posie’s Place

As any regular readers know I love curries, especially Thai and Indian curries. Stewart and I also love noodles and so when I found a recipe for Thai noodle curry I knew this was one which had to tested.

This recipe is a slight adaptation of one from Appon’s Thai Food. I have featured recipes from Appon’s site in the past and they’ve always been a real hit.

You’ll find Appon’s original recipe here Thai Noodle Curry (Mi Ga Ti). I didn’t stray too much from the original and I must say that the combination of sweet, sour, spicy and nutty flavours was amazing! Thanks for another hit recipe Appon!!
