RED CURRY COCONUT RICE WITH PORK

Red Curry Coconut Rice With Pork image

I really enjoy spicy foods, especially Thai so whenever I come across a recipe (especially one that's easy to prepare!), I give it a whirl. I'm a big fan of Basmati and Jasmine rice so I tend to use them in most of my Asian cooking. I found this little gem in our local newspaper which gives the recipe source as www.riceinfo.com.
