  The chicken was really tasty, but the cherry-on-top was the sauce - one of the best sauces with curry I have tried... Def will make it again!

  Couldn't find the Massaman curry paste so had to use Patak's mild curry paste instead, but it was absolutley delicious.

  I cooked this tonight (omitting the ginger) and it was fabulous - my 14 yr old son thought is was one of the best meals he had eaten. However I would pre cook the green beans as 4 minutes is not long enough to cook them and the sauce dries up quickly. I will be cooking this one again and again.

  this was totally delicious so easy to make a brilliant slant on a sunday roast, will definitely make again. I had enough left (and sauce) to freeze for a future curry....excellent.

  Loved this recipe but could not find Massaman paste in any of the three supermarkets I went to. Nor could I find anything produced by Blue Elephant. I had to use Korma curry paste that I already had open in the fridge.

  You can buy Massaman paste from www.bartspices.com They sell their own brand of paste (which I've used and it's very good) and also the one by Blue Elephant.

  Felt the sauce was a bit strong but maybe it was the brand of paste I used (not Blue Elephant). Would also parboil the potatoes first next time. Tasty though.

  Finally located the curry paste in Waitrose. A really different way to serve roast chicken The sauce was absolutely delicious and was enjoyed by everyone - even by my daughter who is not a curry fan . I used 'light ' coconut milk to keep the fat content down a bit and the sauce was still lovely and creamy. I steamed the beans for two mins prior to adding to sauce and they cooked perfectly in the sauce for a further three mins. Will definitely make again.

  This was really very good and a lovely meal to share. I used Patak's hot curry paste and I parboiled the potatoes for 10 minutes before adding to the chicken and they cooked beautifully. Also steamed the beans for a few minutes before adding to the sauce. Definitely a "make again".

  This is absolutely easy and totally delicious. Cooks itself, really and tastes like you have been slaving away for hours. Charmaine Solomon's paste is available in some Sainsbury's. Yum!

  Cooked this in my le creuset casserole dish and used corn fed chicken. I couldnt get the paste so substituted with madras curry paste. I also used a whole tablespoon of paste over the chicken with some oil as i wanted more of the paste's flavours to run into the potatoes whilst roasting. Defnitly worth par boiling the potatoes to make sure they are a little crispy before making the sauce part. We had this with lebanese flat breads, Tzatitiki and Salad made of corriander, cucumber, tomato and red onion.
