  I cooked this recipe without the potatoes as I served it with sticky rice. I substituted baby corn, sugar snap peas and red pepper. The result was a delicious hot and sweet curry. Great alternative to Thai Red or Green Curry. Go for it!

  WOW! Just had this for dinner tonight and Hubby-to-Be was impressed. Managed to find Massaman paste in Tesco's by Barts and the recipe was easy to follow. Will be making this again. Very nice!

  Love curries and this one is no exception! left out the spuds and used mushrooms onion and peppers instead, just bulk the sauce out and its just right.

  We enjoyed this, but I felt it could do with some veggies, so would probably add green beans and baby corn next time.

  Hmmm... First try - cooking for one, tried swapping the Prawns for Chicken (my fave from my local Thai restaurant) Used half of everything, but found the lime to be VERY overpowering in the sauce. I have to say, it ruined it for me. :( Using Mae Ploy Massaman curry paste.

  When I look at the picture, it looks so delicious and I thought it was an Indian curry. But since it's Massaman, I'd like to drop a line here that the best Massaman is with beef, the 2nd best is with chicken but never ever heard the one with prawn. Maybe this is a fusion cuisine?

  I was very disappointed with this recipe. I thought the combination of prawns and potatoes just didn't work with a coconut/lime sauce. There was too much watery sauce too. I really wanted to like this but unfortunately didn't. Maybe I did something wrong!

  A friend from thailand gave me this recipe last year, I've made it with chicken too, or a combination of chicken and prawn. I always cook it when I have friends coming over, as its so easy to make and doesn't require me to slave over the stove too much :) Everyone's always saying how delicious it is and asking for the recipe!

  Lovely!!! My other half has officially rated this as one of his top meals - which is quite an achievement. This was truly delicious and I'll be adapting the base to fit various ingrediants; cauliflower, butternut squash etc. The slightest change i would make would be to use sweet potatoes for a "slightly" healthier version. Some people have mentioned it was runny or there was too much suace but this wasn't the case for me. I simmered the potatoes really gently for longer which may have thickened it up a bit.

  Yummy. Did take about 30 minutes to cook potatoes, but sauce picked up to perfect consistency in line with any Thai curry I've had. Will definately cook this again very soon.

  Reading the previous comments I par-boiled the potatoes and added green beans, we did enjoy it, but the lime spoiled it! We used tesco's massaman paste which tasted beautiful but every ingredient I added then spoilt the original flavour a bit more... I think I could write a recipe for good food, I would buy a jar of paste then print out the instructions on the label! :-P I would like a recipe for massaman paste, then I would make loads and freeze it.

  Having visited Thailand and enjoyed copious amounts of Thai food, we discovered the Thai's prefer runny sauces with their curry, therefore it isn't a fault in the cooking process, it's meant to be runny, so you can soak up all the lovely juicy flavours with the Jasmin rice!
