Cod & spinach yellow curry

Made this for my husband and I for dinner tonight for the first time - wish I'd read the reviews before as I stuck to the recipe as published and we both found it incredibly bland and tasteless! We love our food and home cooking so as I try and cook at least one fish dish a week, I thought this could be an interesting one to try and change things up a little. Was hoping for some punchy Asian flavours but instead found the coconut milk overwhelming and the garam masala spices non-existant - the first time neither of us finished our dinner. I agree with some of the other comments below, I think a good squeeze of lime juice, some green finger chillies and maybe even some lemongrass could change this dish for the better! However I'll be cooking something else next week.

The cod and spinach make for a filling curry, but the spices are overwhelmed by the amount of coconut milk. So I would double the amount of spices, add chilli and finish with a squeeze of lime, and you would end up with a 4 star curry.

This was super tasty I did not coat the cod in the spices, don't be afraid it seems like a lot of spinach, please put the 100 g in , this might be a monthly favourite, I did add a little more ginger, enjoy .

I didn't have any garam masala but was fine without. Needs a little salt and pepper but otherwise a really lovely, creamy dish.

Totally shocked when I read negative reviews. This is easy, delicious and healthy. It does need a bit of seasoning but honestly give it a try - it's great.

Ignore the bad reviews - I tweaked the recipe to up the heat after reading the comments, and have made it once a week for the last month! So easy and delicious.

Would make again but add a chilli.

This is the worst curry recipe I have ever made and tasted. I also think they cheated the picture and used saffron instead of turmeric. My curry came out brown due to the Garam Masala and Paprika in the dish.

I have made this recipe a few times and the smoked paprika should be replaced with either chilli powder or 2 finely chopped fresh green finger chillis. Also, add half a can of water with the coconut milk. I have also chopped one fresh tomato per person and added that after adding the coconut milk. You will need to let this cook out a little for about 10 to 15 minutes. Don't forget to add a good teaspoon of salt and freshly ground pepper. These changes make it a delicious meal - we had cucumber batons on the side :)

Am incensed that BBCgoodfood could churn out such a useless, tasteless recipe that I have just cooked for a Saturday night treat. I can't believe anyone can have tested it. It could only have been tested re its photogenic qualities! Now back to the stove to start tweaking, so it has some flavour for the family tonight.
