    This is amazing I've always used curry paste to make green curry, no more! so easy to make and very low points on weight watchers the sauce is only 3 PP. Froze half the sauce going to have it with turkey tomorrow if it's as good as the first time with prawns can't wait.

    Very easy to make - I omitted the mint as I don't like it. Think I will try adding grated lime zest next time to improve the flavour.

    This was great, the only problem was portion size - there wasn't enough for 4!

    Really tasty and very quick. Loved the idea of using stock instead of more coconut milk, will try that in other recipes.

    No need for buying Thai paste anymore! This recipe is great! I added straight to wok noodles. Easily enough for four people.

    Thea777, try basil, it's often used in green curry.

    This was very mild, but very nice. Next time we will do it with at least 50% more ginger, and some garlic (husband forgot to add it!).

    This tastes very very nice. I agree with previous poster, the portion size produced was very small however

    This was delicious. Portion size wasn't enough for four. I made this with chicken breasts as I don't eat prawns, Was lovely. Next time I might add some more spices and garlic etc to the paste. Served with a zesty lemon sticky rice. Yum.

    Superb quick curry..... Delicious!!! The sauce was only enough for 2 people really. Added ribbon noodles with the prawns instead of serving with rice to keep it low calorie...
