  Tried and tested! It's quick, easy and marvelicious!!! I added red, green & yellow bell pepper and a handful of white mushroom though. Thank you for posting this recipe.

  Brilliant recipe - I made it for a GCSE assignment and made the paste from scratch. Personally I would have added a bit more paste as it wasn't quite as spicy as I would have had it. I had most of my teachers in wanting to try it! - but I suppose teachers will eat almost anything!!

  Really enjoyed this curry! Halved the recipe as I was making it for just me and my boyfriend and it was great. I used muscovado sugar rather than palm sugar and omitted the galangal as I didn't have any but it was still absolutely delicious. So easy too!

  Best Thai green curry recipe I have ever tried, after travelling round Thailand a few times I have tried to recreate this many times and this recipe does the trick !! I use ready made green curry paste and find the Mae Ploy brand the best, bought in my local asian supermarket but also saw it in Tesco's yesterday on their World food aisle. Follow the recipe exactly but find I only need 1 tin of coconut milk and I use the light coconut milk to make it healthier but doesn't change the taste at all. Also I don't use the galangal as I can't always buy it fresh and i use a large pinch of "Thai taste" shredded fresh kaffir lime leaves as the jar keeps in the fridge for months and easier than trying to find fresh all the time. Try it with John Torodes Pad Thai recipe also on this website its absolutely gorgeous.
