    Lovely. I followed the instructions on the jar of curry paste and cooked the chicken first, added the paste, then stirred in the coconut milk.

    This was lovely and the chicken cooked perfectly in the sauce. Brown rice was a nice variation too, although I didn't quite cook it correctly!

    lovely recipe and I was surprised the chicken cooked so well in the sauce. Good introduction to thai flavours for those who aren't so keen on the hotter side of things.

    Very nice! My beans were the thick kind (that's what we get here in India) and I had to cook longer, besides I added some garlic because the curry had too little zing in my opinion, maybe it's the red curry paste I was using (I put 2 tsp). On the whole, super easy and quick therefore a great recipe.

    Used a small (165ml) can of light coconut milk and left the chicken and beans cooking a bit longer than instructed. I then added to the brown rice for a "risotto" type result.
