    This is a genuine 5 stars. I did add parboiled green beans but otherwise followed the recipe. Next time I may add some almonds as the only criticism I'd make would be the texture lacked some "crunch". I can see this working with any chunky white fish thats available (I used haddock as on special offer), and I'll definitely try with large prawns.

    This is a really good and easy recipe. I made it without any chilli's for the kids and they wolfed it down. I think I will be a bit brave and add one next time. They are not great with spicy food, but this might be a way to change that.

    Nice, but too heavy. I would have halved the coconut and added some fish stock instead.

    Loved this and very easy to make. I added extra green chillies, green beans, lime juice and fish sauce like other readers have suggested. Will be making again for sure.
