(Cook's note: This is another Thai recipe from my dear friend Sommai. I've known her for what seems forever and have eaten a lot of her Thai food. In 25+ years, this was the first time I have ever heard tasted such a thing, much less ever heard her ever talk about tuna curry. And when I say tuna, I'm talking about tuna out of a can! She just made me some more for us to give to my son-in-law because Dale & I ate all of the first batch and she knows Tim likes her spicy stuff. As always, a Sommai dish does not always comes with exact measured ingredients, but this is your starting point. She just orally gave me the recipe and I haven't made this yet, but I will tweek it as needed and update this on my site. This makes a lot, so you probably won't use the whole batch at once. Refrigerate any leftovers.)
