  We didn't have the right kind of curry paste, and I think it showed! Tasted very strange, but not unpleasant. I'd make it again.

  I froze this and not sure if that gave rise to a slightly strange texture with the prawns. Loved the flavour so it was a bit of a pity,will make again but not freeze.

  The ingredients list asks for curry powder, but the method asks for paste? Even so, we used regular Indian curry powder and the taste was still very nice. It wasn't too hot at all, especially with the cooling pineapple.

  This was just gorgeous! Massaman paste is notably different to generic Thai red curry paste and made a huge difference to the finished article. I also loved the sweetness of the pineapple against the hot and sour flavours of the chilli and limes. I was only catering for two so quartered the quantities. I also wanted to bulk it out a bit so I added some diced butternut squash and 200ml stock at the same time as the coconut milk and fish sauce and then simmered for about twenty minutes before continuing with the recipe as directed. Am under orders from 'im indoors to make this one again. Or else!

  This was lovely, I did not use massaman paste as I could not find any, so I used red thai paste, this was a definate hit with the family, the 5 chilli's added didnt make it as hot as I thought it would. yum yum
