"I made this for the first time the other evening. I found the instructions to be a bit brief (usually it says whats the best kind of pan to use, I used a high sided frying pan and I think it would have been better in a normal pan as I had to add extra liquid, also I wasnt sure if I could use some sort of oil to stop the onions burning, or if this would effect the taste). Is it me or does it not say what 2-3 madras paste is of? I initially made it with 2-3 teaspoons but you couldnt taste it once the coconut milk was in so I had to add it at a later stage but I dont think this was detrimental in any way. I served it with rice (didnt mean to I forgot I had naan till after I served) and it went really well. My vegetarian guest loved it as did the rest of the family. Will make again but will add 2-3 tablespoons of paste."

"really nice and fresh. I was dubious about serving it as a main salad but all the flavours really come through."
