Migth have left it cooking for too long, chicken was a little dry and bland in the end. I did replace the veggies with thai eggplant, mushrooms and some red bell pepper which are lovely. But i cut back on coconut milk and added a bit water which isn't the best idea.

So easy and so gorgeous used baby corn and baby spring onions instead of courgettes and added 10 minutes before end of cooking. Will try other veggies and maybe some cashew nuts over time as this will become a firm favourite!!!!!

Added Chestnut mushrooms and green peppers, along with sliced spring onion and some chopped green and red chillis... came out a treat!

Really liked this. It was simple and easy to make and our guests really enjoyed it. Next time I would add something to make it a bit more lemoney and a bit more curry paste. I used 2tbsp Sainsburys Green Thai curry paste. A very good meal

Have now made this several times, it is straightforward, tasty and light. I never shake the coconut milk can and just use the cream initially to simmer the paste with as the flavours infuse that way. I also take a few spoonfuls of the sauce and whiz it up with the coriander (using a stick blender). This makes it really green when you pour it back in. Kaffir lime leaves improve it too. I also cook the vegetables for a minute or two in the microwave before adding. It has certainly converted my partner to Thai food.

Dont read any other Thai Green Curry receipe - do this one. It is simple, quick and very tasty. Add more veg than above receipe, green or red peppers, baby sweetcorn, mange tout, spring onions etc. I never tried Thai curry before but this made it easy and a must do again, maybe tonight?!!

I had never made Thai Green Curry before but found this recipe and thought it worth a try. I added some lemon grass with the vegetables and some Thai fish oil along with the curry paste, served it with jasmine rice and the result was absolutely lovely. It was a great hit with my husband so will become a regular dish from now on.

Very very good. I've added 2 tbs of fish sauce and a tsp of brown sugar. Lemon juice instead of lime and it all went..no leftovers

I've only just found this recipe and have been making thai curry for a long time... it's a regular Monday night dinner in our house. I'd just like to say i always add lime juice, 1 tbsp fish sauce and a teaspoon of sugar as soon as i take it off the heat... gives a really authentic thai taste, especially if using a shop bought paste. Enjoy! x

I add bamboo shoots - a must! Also fresh ginger, a dash of soy sauce and a handful of torn basil leaves.

Great - quick and tasty - everyone had seconds, high veg content, our son [12] will not normally eat this amount of greens, coconut flavour made it slide down nicely. Grandma loved it.

Great recipe! A good recipe for an easy and tasty curry. Had to add more liquid, but except from that it was a huge success.
