Curry paste

Thai curry paste can vary from fairly mild to very hot, depending on the brand. If you're using an authentic Thai brand, add 1 tsp first, then add more to taste.

    Lovely! bought green thai paste by mistake, but it was still great. added a 1tbsp of fish sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce and a 1 tbsp of worcestershire sauce and a sprinkle of palm sugar. I will definitely try it again, but with red thai paste this time.

    I also substituted red peppers for the green beans. The sauce perks up with a few dashes of fish sauce. I used a 400ml tin of coconut milk, since I felt that 250 ml didn't seem enough liquid, and even that didn't reach a level where it was cooking the salmon, so I had to do some constant careful stirring and turning. However, the result was really nice, served with basmati rice. I think a lot depends on your red curry paste, since they do vary in strength. I would recommend the fish sauce though. It transforms most Thai curries into something special.

    I made this for my children after school and it was really quick and easy. I added some lime juice, seasoning and a spoonful of sugar and it was really tasty. I served with noodles and peshwari nam but it would have been substantial served with just the bread. I am going to make it for me and my husband tonight but will probably add more curry paste and some fish sauce.

    This recipe was absolutely terrible. I have made many fish curries before and this one was the worst. The paste is flavourless and cooks down into nothing. I ended up with spicy onion and a bit of milk. DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE (Waitrose have a MUCH better red thai curry recipe) I forgive the BBC for putting this on here, I can only hope my stomach can do the same.

    This recipe is absolutely delicious and super easy to make. I also added some spring onions, garlic and fresh ginger to the onions and curry paste. Tried once with chicken but is definitely best with Salmon. Can't wait to try a veggie version.

    i think the flavor of this dish heavily depends on the quality of the curry paste. I was trying a new brand, curry paste was quite liquidy and smelled of vinegar. when cooking i noticed bitter taste in the sauce, which i think was from my curry paste. overall, it was a lovely little curry, very simple and quick. will try again, but will change my curry brand first.
