You can substitute or add egg plant for the Squash.
Substitute Chicken if desired.
Also you can add huge slices of Thai ginger in place of the minced, or add Lemon Grass in The place of some of the Lemon Juice. Just eat around them. If adding the grass, cook it with the rest? The tradition is to serve it with Jasmin Rice, but I like Basmati and Brown Rice, Calrose or regular rice too.
