1. Video tutorial: Preparing prawns

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large saucepan and fry 3-4 tbsp curry paste (depending on how hot you want the curry to be) for a minute until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and milk, stir well and bring to a simmer.
2. Add the potato and butternut squash and cook for about 10 minutes until it is almost tender, add the rest of the veg and thin the sauce with a little water if you need to. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. For the veggies, transfer half the curry to another pan. For the non-veggies, add the chicken or prawns to the remaining half. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chicken or prawns are cooked through and season with fish sauce.
4. Serve both curries with the coriander sprinkled over and steamed jasmine rice.

Making it low fat

Rather than overloading this with 400ml high-fat coconut milk, you could use 200ml coconut milk, 200ml milk (plus the additional 250ml milk).

  I went down the veggie route and it was very much appreciated, and so simple to make.

  This is a really tasty recipe and freezes well for speedy dinners. My only tip would be to use new potatoes so that they don't make the sauce starchy.

  LOVED THIS! we used prawns, and as suggested tried new potatoes - absolutely gorgeous, filling and tasty. well worth a go, and so darned easy! plus, i was a wee bit wary of old squtternut bosh in a curry but it worked a treat.

  I made this recipe for my husband and son to eat whilst watching Wimbledon Tennis - I didn't have the butternut squash but folllowed the recipe apart from that - it was a great success - just hot enough! We accompanied it with plain boiled rice as we didn't have the jasmin but the result was still excellent! I would recommend serving it with a dry white wine such as the white bordeaux we opened and following it with a home-made lemon meringue pie!

  Made this for for friends it went down really well, I added prawns but really think these or the chicken is not needed as it was a really hearty curry.

  We were made this by our friends and it was delicious, easy to just fling in the pan and leave until we were ready to eat. Had a disaster with the jasmine rice, but the normal stuff went with it just fine!

  Always make Thai Green Curry but is great! Put Mange Tout and baby sweetcorn instead of the green beans, I love this combo in Thai Curries. Definitly a recipe worth doing!

  Sirlewy - looks like they've forgotten to add the milk to the ingredients list. I think it should be 400 ml coconut milk PLUS 250 ml 'normal' milk (see under 'Making it lowfat). Should give you more sauce.

  First time I made this recipe it was fab. Made it again yesterday and put the incorrect amount of milk in (for 6 rather than 3 people), also the milk seemed to curdle this time, so not quite so good. Any ideas on how to stop the milk curdling. Apparently full fat products should result in less curdling, also taken the pan off the heat before adding should help. Also read that some people add cornflour to the milk before adding??
