    Important to boil off a lot of the fluids - helps to bring out the best mix in flavours. Also helps to get the potatos nice and soft.

    Pretty good! I steam the sweet potatoes in the microwave for 3 mins before throwing them in, just to make sure they're cooked enough. I also used low fat coconut milk which made the curry a bit runny, so I cooked it for longer to thicken the sauce and it still worked well.

    Excellent recipe. I used butternut pumpkin as I cannot get the orange fleshed sweet potatoes here. I added a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, too. My vegetarian daughter-in-law really enjoyed it. The naan bread is a nice change.

    Tonight was the second time I have tried this recipe, this time I substituted Barts low fat coconut milk, used 3 tabelspoons of Pataks Tikka Masala paste and added a small tin of chick peas just before the spinach. We enjoyed it the first time as per recipe, but this time it was better still. Diane Staffordshire

    A lovely and sweet vegetarian coconut curry. Perfect for using up organic box left-overs - mine had mange-tout and broccoli in it as well!

    I made this for the first time the other evening. I found the instructions to be a bit brief (usually it says whats the best kind of pan to use, I used a high sided frying pan and I think it would have been better in a normal pan as I had to add extra liquid, also I wasnt sure if I could use some sort of oil to stop the onions burning, or if this would effect the taste). Is it me or does it not say what 2-3 madras paste is of? I initially made it with 2-3 teaspoons but you couldnt taste it once the coconut milk was in so I had to add it at a later stage but I dont think this was detrimental in any way. I served it with rice (didnt mean to I forgot I had naan till after I served) and it went really well. My vegetarian guest loved it as did the rest of the family. Will make again but will add 2-3 tablespoons of paste.

    Absolutely lovely! My veggie daughter really liked it. Added some chickpeas and also had some butternut squash left over from another recipe. I roasted the veg a bit first before adding to the sauce mix. Yum!!!

    really tasty! Added a tin of chopped tomatoes and used low fat coconut milk and threw in some prawns at the end - delicious! Took a bit longer to cook than indicated as had to reduce sauce down a bit and think I will take the tip to steam the sweet potatoes a bit first. Still great, and so much of it!!

    I added a whole tin of coconut milk as the recipe suggests but it was more like soup so I let it cook for a lot longer to reduce. I didn't have any spinach so threw in some frozen peas (similar?!) It was delicious. I will definitely make it again
