  Lovely - let it simmer for quite a while to thicken it up nicely, though my attempts to follow the suggestions above for more red paste got out of hand and I think I overdid it a bit (think I did 3tbsp in the end), but it was a really great taste and full of flavour. Used coconut milk instead of cream as find cream really hard to get hold of, but the reducing time helped there. Followed @doreen's suggestion of the garlic, and I think that helped. Unfortunately forgot to try @kear's fish sauce etc, which I will do next time!

  I found this recipe pretty dull. Maybe the curry paste was great, but not really worth a second attempt. It is very easy though.

  I have made lots of complicated Thai curries but this is as good as any and so easy to make on a work night. I prefer to use spring onions and also add peppers and it's more authentic to replace the coriander with basil.

  My girlfriend and I have just cooked this and thought it was fantastic for an easy snack or a full meal if you cook for two instead. My girlfriend isn't so good with spice, but she thought it was lovely and the coconut cream balanced it out into an amazing dish. Was about £5 for all ingredients but now we have a big tub of curry paste to cook this more so that's a result! :D

  Great curry! I added 2 more tsp of red curry paste though as it wasn't quite hot enough for my taste.Also added a lot of coriander to the dish whilst cooking as I love dishes heavy on coriander. Would def. make this again.

  Fabulous recipe and very quick and easy to make! I will definitely be making this again but next time will add another half teaspoon of Red Curry Paste as, although lovely, was slightly too mild.

  After reading the comments, I used 3/4 of the tin of tomatoe's, used approx 300ml of coconut milk, and blended 1 onion, a green pepper, 1 garlic clove and 1 red chilli without seeds. I used the Bart red thai chilli paste. This is a tasty quick and easy meal, next time ill add another teaspoon of paste and another chilli to give it a further kick.

  Really glad I read the reviews!! Used only a third of the tomatoes and still took some out! Added lemon juice (didn't have lime), fish sauce, garlic, double the thai paste, noodles and 3/4 tin coconut milk (to try and get rid of the tomato taste). It ended up being really tasty, but only because of the alterations.

  as easy as the name suggests! added some extra garlic to it. Next time will add some veg to it - probably peppers and mushrooms to bulk it up a bit.
