    I make this curry all the time, it is so easy! I use a large wok to cook it in and once all the ingredients are in you just let it simmer! Everytime I have family over for dinner they always ask me to make this for them!

    As my husband and I both work full-time we like to cook quick & simple dishes. So we thought we would give this dish a try and all I can say it was a great tasty meal. We definitely cook it again.

    This was delicious. Like another reviewer we didn't have ordinary potatoes so put in some red lentils. Quick and easy and will be made many times!

    Very pleasant although I found it a little too "wet" and would use only half the quantity of stock next time.

    Did this for a mid week family tea. Everyone loved it, including curry hating son, who said it was more like a nice stew than a proper curry. Used Patak's Balti paste and I think the coconut milk made it more palatable to non curry eater. It would be very easy to add chicken, if you wanted. One point re above comments - don't leave out the ordinary potatoes - use good quality ones and they suit the sauce better than the sweet ones.

    This is a quick, lovely recipe which I cook often. Coconut cream can be replaced with chopped tomatoes or with tomato puree for a change of taste. Delicious !

    really yummy and easy to make - I used grated courgette in place of peas as I happened to have them and it worked just as well (I've made the pea version too). I did quite a fast boil to reduce the liquid a bit.

    Tasted too much like a veg stew for me, even though the curry paste I used was a hot one. If I make this again I will used plain water instead of stock. Husband liked it and especially enjoyed the curry flatbread (www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2066/curried-flatbread) I did with it.

    We absolutely loved this curry, so easy to make, and the sweet potato was lovely, I used tikka paste, added cubed chicken breasts and stirred in some fresh spinach just before i served it up. I took note of the previous comments and used less stock resulting in a lovely creamy sauce, a definite hit, delicious.

    I added frozen leaf spinach instead of the peas and a handful of red split lentils to soak up some of the excess liquid - delicious!
