Thai beef curry

I had none of the above ingredients, so I substituted some leftover salad from the bottom draw of the fridge. I would say 8 hours cooking is way too much. It was little more than a bland, liquidy mess.

Just tried it, reduced the quantity & it was lovely. I added mangetout & it gave it a lift maybe next time baby sweet corn too next time too. Worth a try

Does anyone know if this recipe is or can be gluten free?
Thanks

I bought my first slow cooker and decided to try this recipe. I used half the weight of chicken breast and used the green curry paste. I added mange tout, baby corn, aubergine and mushroom. Cooked for 6-7 hours and put the coconut milk in the last 30 min.

Results:
the curry was majorly dry and the chicken became dry, did not get any other green curry flavour other than the chilli. Really disappointed with the outcome. I was going to do the same method to create a red curry but am now reluctant given the outcome of the green. Any tips?

I've made this a few times, with a lesser amount of beef. I always use thai curry paste to save the blending etc. Any milky products in the slow cooker separate so I only ever add it in at the last 20 mins. I also don't add the lime in until the last 20 mins as otherwise it tastes tangy.

Really good flavour combination. The slow cooking infused the brisket with delicious flavours.

I made this dish in the slow cooker last night with half the amount of brisket beef and the full amount of sauce (although i only added 2 tbsp of fish sauce). As i expected the milk had split so i took the tip from earlier in the page and seived the mixture this morning (removed the beef from the seive and put back into slow cooker and discarded the leftovers) which really helped take away the sharpness. The sauce is now unbeilivabley smooth and full of flavour. I'm currently reducing whats left and added some baby sweetcorn and mange tout. Also the beef is soo tender and soaked up the flavour. The ingredient of a great dish are here! Its just the method maybe needs adjusting! Next time i'll maybe cook the dish and leave the milk until last.

I have just bought a slow cooker and decided to try this dish. I followed the recipe and have to say that it was awful. Fish sauce is very strong and just a teaspoon would have been better. The coconut milk separated and the fish sauce taste was overwhelming.

It looked awful and the tastes were harsh, as someone says above. Luckily I just did this for the family and not for guests. I would have been mortified to have had to serve this up as a dinner part dish. There are so many fantastic recipes out there but this isn't one of them.

I cooked this for my husbands family and it was absolutely fab! I used brisket and put this in the oven at 160o for 2 hours instead of a slower cooker. It was so soft. I had no issues with the coconut cream splitting, however, I have to agree that 50ml of fish sauce was a bit extreme! I put in 2 tbsp, which was sufficient. Definitely recommend this recipe.

Would this work with beef cheeks?

Absolutely delicious, the flavours are amazing, and the beef really works with the thai flavours. I served for 2, so used the appropriate amount of beef and other ingredients, but used only half (instead of quarter) of the coconut milk and liquids, and the consistency was spot on. Yum!

This was actually amazing! I made it with 500g chicken thigh fillets, and it'll serve me 4 portions, with the same amount of liquid recommended above. I really hate curries that don't have enough sauce and as some others have said, I can't imagine this much liquid being enough for 8 portions.

I also put in a pile of beansprouts, a courgette and an aubergine right at the beginning, yummy!

this was delicious. As some of the comments below I used half the meat with this amount of sauce. Can imagine wouldn't be enough sauce otherwise. Used brisket and half fat coconut milk for the whole duration. Although it split a little, a good stir and it was completely fine. Didn't cook for 8 hours. Between 6-7 seemed plenty with lovely soft meat. The beef absorbs the flavours beautifully. Threw in some Green beans, brocolli stems and baby corn in the last half hour. Will definitely be doing this one again.

Is it really 50ml Fish sauce? That is 1/4 of the bottle. I've added two table spoons to the dish and just put it in the slow cooker. Will let you know how it goes.

This is worthy of 5 stars but only with this adjustment at the end which rescued what looked awful and tasted too harsh for me. I cooked it exactly as it says but before adding the last coriander and lime juice I sieved the mixture and blended the juice which bought it together beautifly. I then put the blended juice on the hob and picked the beef out the sieve and added that back in. Cooked an extra 5 mins with the lime juice and coriander Tasted like thai restaurant standard.
