Fair enuff. I keep hop[ing to see it in my stupormarkups. I'd buy it 
before Moose Tracks or Washington Cherry (two of my usuals).

It is easy. Like you, I'm more into other cuisines than Indian. Southeast
Asian or Chinese are my favourite non-European or USA specialties. I do
make side trips into Korean and Japanese .... sometimes.

Here's one I have made a few times. You may want to cut back on the phak
chi since it is cilantro. I approached it with caution as I know how it
is easy to overload w/soapweed. I find that it blends right in with the
other flavours. For the prik phom I use either bird's eye or rat dropping
chilies.
