Method
Soak the dry red chillies in hot water. Strain it and reserve the water. Add all the ingredients required to a blender and blend it to a coarse paste by adding the required amount of reserved water.
Heat oil in a pan, add the curry paste to it and cook it till it loses its raw flavour and gives out an aroma.
Add the vegetables except for the broccoli and bell pepper, and saute with the paste for 5 minutes on a medium flame.
Add water, and bring it to a boil. Cover and simmer the mixture for 3 minutes, and the broccoli and let it cook for 30 seconds more.
Add coconut milk, and simmer the mixture till it starts to thicken. Season the dish and mix it well. Transfer it to a bowl. Garnish it with spring onion greens and chopped peanuts. Serve it hot along with some rice.
