Absolutely scrummy and so quick! I used coconut oil and added the peas and red pepper as previously suggested. Try it and serve it with confidence to guests.

This recipe is lovely and has now become one of our favorites. I usually add a chopped pepper and a handful of frozen peas with reduced fat coconut milk. Delicious.

Delicious and very easy. We just can't get enough of this curry . It is very easy to make it. First time I used a coconut milk and still it was very nice, but very runny. So you can use both. Well recommended.

A great curry for something made so quickly. There are better curries but these take a long time to cook. I add fine green beans or spinach

Lovely recipe - quick, so simple and a real crowd pleaser. Added more chilli and some spinach but just down to personal taste. Thanks GF!

This was an incredible dish, I'm so glad I found this recipe. I added some sliced Okra to it as well and it was -perfect-. Really great, easy curry dish.

Can you freeze this recipe? If you can, would you freeze it with the prawns in or just the sauce and add them once the sauce has been heated up again? Thanks.

Thanks for your question. You can freeze the completed dish, although if you add the prawns and garnishes after defrosting, the results will be better.

Hi, is rice included in 335kcal? Is it just all the ingredients mentioned in the section?

Thanks for your question. No, the rice is not included. All ingredients marked as 'to serve' or 'optional' in our recipes are not included.

Do you think green or red curry paste would work better? I suppose they'd both be delicious.

Hi there, we used red curry paste here and this would be better with the tomato purée colourwise. Equally, other users have used a variety of Indian curry pastes. You could always try experimenting with your favourite. Let us know how you get on.
