Thai Vegetarian Green Curry image

I adapted this delicious green curry from a recipe I found online. When I have vegetarian guests, I often make this along side recipe #19012 Thai Zucchini for a complete meal. Feel free to add the more traditional keffir lime leaves as a replacement for the lime juice if you're able to find them. Note: cooking time will be longer if your cooking real chicken.
