  Agree with Pelupi, a couple of chillies would spice it up a little and maybe not so much coconut milk, but it went down well in our house and a really quick and easy one pot dish.

  followed this to the letter but after water was absorbed the rice was still hard and crunchy, added more stock and even more curry paste but it just ended up bland and almost like a savoury rice pudding was not impressed.

  like others rice not cooked after initial time so added more stock- but big hit with little ones as not too spicy. When I made it second time covered the pan whilst simmering after adding quarter pint more stock and rice cooked fine- sprinkled chilli over adult servings for more spice. Will definitely cook again as suits all ages.

  I love this, it turned out really well. Used Thai green curry paste & the lamb mince gave it a nice rich flavour. I had to cook the rice for longer than stated to soften it up, but everyone loved it. Will definately make this again!

  We also thought it a little bland though pleasant taste. It needs something extra to live up to its name, I'd added double the paste. But you could try an additional blend of Thai spices or middle eastern to be more authentic. I didn't have any coconut milk so I added a pack of ready cooked steamed coconut rice instead with some milk, once the mince had partly cooked. A bit of a cheat but it worked well enough.

  Really quick and easy midweek supper - the comments that mention it not being spicy enough must be using a really bland curry paste. With a decent thai green paste its delicious!

  I didn't find this a very attractive dish, but as I enjoy coconut, it was very tasty. With a few slices of lemon, it really set it off.

  Delicious, easy, inexpensive, quick. Cooked the rice a little longer and added a splash more water to stop it drying out and a little less coconut milk so not so sweet. Also used red thai curry paste as I didn't have green.

  I certainly didn't find this recipe bland (I used a paste made by a well known manufacturer beginning with B), but I did find it underwhelming. It tasted ok, and was quick and easy to make - although it did require more liquid than stated to cook the rice thoroughly - but the lamb got lost in all the rice and wasn't really noticable, flavour or texture wise. I won't make it again in it's original form, but I will try it with chicken and a bit less rice and see how that goes.

  It was ok. I had some good curry paste which helped but the dish still seemed to be missing something. We did however eat the whole lot but it's not something I would rush to make again. Also the rice did require more liquid and a longer cooking time. Was not very healthy either, if Im going to be unhealthy I want to really enjoy it!!!

  Less good than the ingredients suggested. Used lamb stock instead of chicken and husband's killer chilli oil but still found the result strangely dull.

  I find the rice takes longer to cook here as it doesn't absorb the liquid as well as when you boil rice in water. It seems to take more like 20-25 minutes. The frozen peas also take longer than 2 minutes (more like 5-10).
