    Really enjoyed this, although added more cury paste than stated in the recipe to give it that extra kick!

    We loved this as a mid-week supper as it was quite easy to do but really tasty. We actually roasted some chicken legs with some curry paste on to help the flavours. We then took the meat off the bones to add to the rest of the ingredients. Worked really well for us!

    lovely recipe,perfect for a pack-lunch too.Paul S's suggestion of roasting the chicken with the curry on them is great. Only thing is, what kind of curry paste? I was confronted with a multitude of multi-coloured jars in the store...help!

    I liked this dish, it was quick and easy and very tasty. I just used the curry paste in my cupboard which happened to be coconut and coriander.

    Easy to do, and very tasty - I used quorn pieces instead of chicken (frying them gently first in soy sauce and water) and Pataks Korma curry paste. Please note - the recipe calls for curry PASTE, not curry sauce - 2 different things! Most supermarkets will sell the paste, by the sauces, but in smaller jars. Very economical, as they keep for ages.

    Quick, easy and tasty. I added extra curry paste to pep it up a bit. I was also nice cold as a salad the next day for lunch.

    Tasty but too dry. I added some fried mushrooms. Good for lunch box or as side dish.

    It's become a regular accompaniment in our house - I serve it with kebabs, or griddled lamb.

    Very tasty! I served mine over baby spinach leaves and added some extra veg - capsicum and tomatoes to get in my 5 a day!
