    Very tasty, and quick, but no need for the potatoes, much nicer with rice. very quick to make.I doubled up to make for four, just make sure the fish doesn`t overcook.

    could you use squash or sweet potatoe instead?

    First off, I didn't find that this recipe had the vibrancy of a real Thai curry. When I make a curry in a hurry, I follow the above method, adding the paste and the coconut milk, but then I add Lloyd Grossman red Thai curry sauce to give it a bit more depth. It's still not the same as a restaurant curry but people always seem happy with it! I agree with the review above suggesting removing the potatoes - I prefer it with rice. Bell peppers, green beans, and parsnips are all nice alternatives with both red and green Thai curries. Squash or sweet potatoes would probably work too!

    Add some kaffir lime leaves, extra dry ground chili and a splash of Thai fish sauce to your Coconut and Red Paste mixture to give an extra and slightly sour taste. I put a tin of drained clams and Octopus (drained of it's oil) into the curry along with white fish - really quick and tasty!

    So quick and easy to cook. Goes down a storm when I have unexpected visitors for dinner. I improvise by adding quick pan fried trimmed green beans (or mounge tout) and baby sweet corn in a very hot pan (only for 3mins). Keep them to one side and add with the fish. I have also added some shredded lemon grass as a garnish to make it look a little bit more impressive for guests. If you want a thicker sauce add some corn flour until you get your desired consistency. This recipe also works great with chicken, turkey or pork.

    Not enough for two people unless its served as part of a 2/3 course meal. I used a bit more of everything and served with rice. I'll make this again, it was very easy and went down well with the other half.
