  Really simple, but very tasty! Only suggestion would be that the beans need a bit longer than three minutes - I left them in for about five and they were perfect.

  Very easy recipe to follow, was very tasty, just watch out how much curry paste you put in. I left out the courgettes because I don't like them. All in all, excellent dish I would def make again!

  Few points to add. Use very fresh green curry paste and that too of good quality. Those who don't like courgettes, add 1 babypotato,1/2 eggplant and few sliced mushrooms.It becomes tastier and quite filling. When the curry is ready to serve, just add torn fresh basil leaves and give it a boil.It enhances the flavour. You can omit the lime juice cauz it may overpower the nice aroma of the basic green curry paste. Happy cooking.

  Turned out really nice. I left out the lime juice and added fresh basil at the end. Made my green curry paste from scratch, it makes the curry taste really authentic. The paste requires a few unavailable ingredients, like Kaffir Lime Leaves and Galangal. A great substitute for the lime leaves are crushed dried bay leaves instead of using lime zest, because bay leaves have a woody fragrance. If you use ginger to substitute the Galangal, add a few lemon drops on top of it too. Enjoy!

  I made this last night pretty much as the recipe and it was great. I made the quantity as in the recipe thinking we would have enough for another day but my husband ate 2 portions so only one left! I added half a green pepper cut into strips and it was lovely. Also I included the lime juice as in the recipe and I am glad I did because it enhanced the flavour. We will definately be having this again.

  Excellent dish. Just finished, and enjoyed every morsel. Would thoroughly recommend it for its simplicity, quick preparation time and taste, of course. Added mange tout peas as I couldn't get my hands on green beans, and they added a lovely crunch.

  Very easy and tasty! Just loved it! Made it yesterday and family - not fond of "exotic cuisine" - loved it too. Will definitely cook it again.

  This recipe tastes better with baby eggplants rather than courgettes!

  Great. Next time will use 2 tbsps of green curry paste as would have liked it a bit hotter.

  tried this the other night, without courgettes (didn't have any) and it was brilliant. Very tasty and so simple to make.

  I suggest a table spoon of Thai fish sauce and a heaped tea spoon of palm or brown sugar!

  Seriously, I am NOT the cook in our house (Hubby is); however, I managed to surprise him BIG time with this recipe. Used at least 3 tbsp. of green curry paste - just a great dish!!

  Good starting point, but to make a decent Thai dish, you should also add 4tbsp of fish sauce (replaces salt in Thai cuisine), two chooped lemon grass stalks and 4-6 keffir lime leaves (replaces lime juice). Often you will also find thinly sliced carot sticks in a green curry. I can also recommend adding capsicum and/or snap peas. You should add the oil and then the curry paste and mix them well. Then add the chicken and stir until half cooked (!). Then add the vegetables and coconutmilk (and 100ml of water). The chicken will cook in the curry and will be very soft. (Never fry the chicken until it starts to brown for it will be hard and dry afterwards!)
