Note: Use a whole lemon (Meyer if you have one), a whole red bell
pepper sliced, and add a green bell pepper sliced. Next time I’ll add
a whole sweet onion sliced too. Could’ve used more heat: round the
chili sauce to 2 T. and work up from that. I’ll do the same to the
curry paste next time; 2 t. and work up.
