  Sarahguthrie, coconut milk doesn't freeze very successfully I'm afraid. Maybe you could try making the dish without it, then stir it in when re-heating. I'm not sure if that would work though.

  Do you have to soak the lentils first? It doesn't seem like they'd be cooking for long enough.

  fantastic dish, even my little ones enjoyed it. i added mushrooms but i think 1 large sweet potatoe would be enough. would suggest using a medium curry paste or some paprika if you would like a bit of a kick.

  very surprised that this recipe has received such rave reviews. I found it "OK" but bland and disappointing. I would definitely add more spice and some fresh corriander.

  My husband does not like spicy foods and I do so thought I would try this with having the sweet potatoes in it. Could not find any mild curry paste so got jar of balti paste and added half of that. Beautiful mild sweet curry that we both enjoyed. Definitely on the favourite list.

  I made this for tea tonight , i used pataks korma paste but used about triple the amount of paste, i didn't use lentils as i didn't have any , i found the sauce very thin and it took ages for it to reduce as i like my curry sauce fairly thick but it was a delicious flavour , although i wouldn't use peas again i would probably use some onions and peppers instead.

  I personally found this bland and it needed much more paste for my tastes but on the plus side both my young children ate it. I often freezer curries containing coconut milk and they seem to defrost and re-heat quite well so I would say fine to freeze: I made quite a lot of this so froze a number of portions and have already defrosted one for the kids which was fine.....

  Now this is a great curry, not to hot creamy and sweet. I cooked it for longer then they said, and added cornflour to thicken .

  Nice curry but we'll use double the quantity of curry paste in the next one as it was a bit bland for us.

  So easy to make and totally delicious. My hubby usually hates curry but loved this one. Very healthy. I added watercress to it for extra goodness.

  Great mid week meal which kids liked. Not too hot but make sure the sweet potato is buried in the bubbling liquid otherwise extend the cooking time.

  What can I say? I've made it a few times now and apart from the one time I managed to mess it up by being a complete idiot and burning the curry paste, it was really, really nice every time.
