Red Thai Curry With Rice

Though I am open to most cuisines, I still have reservations about flavors. I was not into Thai food as most people are because of the lemon grass flavor. Lemon grass oil is used in India to keep mosquito's away and I did not enjoy that flavor in food. But all that changed a while ago when my brother-in-law Shaker prepared the spiciest and lemon grass flavor free red Thai curry and served it to us. I really started liking the curry and have been making it often.The secret to it was Thai Kitchen's Red Curry Paste. Most red curry pastes have anchovies in them but this brand that I found at Henry's Market Place came without it.
