It's dairy products free, grain free, and egg free, which makes it a great meals to serve when you aren't certain of every person's dietary restrictions. The red curry sauce is so silky smooth, thick, wealthy and flavorful, and incredibly comforting on a chilly winter evening. And while it does have curry paste in it (which is known to be on the spicier side) you can control the amount and tailor it the littles in your life. Even my child who is an infamously picky eater gobbled his in no time at all, and declared "delicious! " after every attack of meatball. In my house, that's one very successful supper.
