Sounds tasty, but is curry good for athletes?
I hear it can upset your digestive tract if you even have the slightest reaction to the spices, as alot of people do.

I feel like I'm in the dark...what is a prawn? What I gathered, some kind of sea food that has a shell. Anyway, it does sound good.

Prawn is a really big shrimp.

And this recipe was really great. We liked it a lot at my house!

[rubybeetle]

Hey thanks, I was wondering. I wish I get my kids to eat shrimp. They think of most seafood as pets not food

That seems great. One suggestion, if you are moderating your fat intake or trying to lose weight, reduced fat coconut milk is available.

[rubybeetle]

I didn't realize coconut was high in fat. Does anyone know how much fat it has in it?

[reviewer]

Well, I'm sure you can look up that info. The problem is tropical oils (coconut oil, palm oil) are less healthy that the oils in, say, olive oil, nuts, and avocados, so they should be eaten in moderation.
