    Fried a bit of chicken and used that instead of the fish. Was a bit too limey so I put in a couple of teaspoons of sugar and a touch of salt. Delicious!

    Found the flavours a bit overpowering, next time would use less curry paste and no fish sauce, and add some veg such as peppers and onions.

    This a really simple recipe, but tastes so good. I find it a bit too hot with all the curry paste, so I use a little bit less and add a bit more coconut milk. Yum!

    One of those dishes that gets hotter as you eat it. By the end my lips were burning a little bit but I really liked it. Might try it again with just a tad less curry paste to see if it's still as nice but without as much burn!

    I did this recipe yesterday, even if I had to substitute a couple of ingredients it was lovely and comforting.

    Absolutely delicious! Was quick to make and light on the stomach, perfect for coming home from work a bit late. Served with prawn crackers.
