This sauce has a delicate flavour and you can make it as hot as you want by adding more of the Curry Paste, and the quantities in this recipe is for a mild dish. Once again, I have used that versatile food, peanut butter.  It goes well with sweet and savoury foods and I use it often, apart from eating it on toast!
