    Very nice. Add more coconut milk if the chilli heat is an issue.

    Fantastic flavour. 1/2 stock next time as was too fluid. Will definitely be making this a regular meal!

    Very good recipe. I sliced carrots and celery to give it a great crunch. Add these while it's simmering and let it cook 10 min.

    Worth cooking for the aroma, have used a variation of this recipe for several years which includes green peppers. Truly excellent.

    Like others I used thighs as I find they have more flavour. I substituted half the green curry paste with red curry paste as this gives it an interesting twist.

    Will make again. Used chicken thighs instead of breasts and as I only had about 1 teaspoon of lemongrass I also added a few kaffir lime leaves. In the last few minutes of cooking added some fresh basil.

    Curry paste comes in various sizes and brands. Some of them are VERY salty, especially the ones in the small can. If you are trying a new brand, taste the paste a little bit, first, or you can end up with a very salty (and unhealthy) dish after all. Note that coconut milk is naturally slightly salty. During cooking, the heat will hide the saltiness, but it will reveal itself when you take the curry off the stove. If you don't like a very salty dish (like me), be conservative on the curry paste.

    By the way, in Thailand, we cook the coconut 'cream' and the curry paste first. Put the coconut cream (the thick layer on top of the can...don't shake the can before use!) in with a hint of oil. When it starts to bubble, add the paste to taste. Stir quickly until well mixed. Saute a little bit with chicken, and incrementally add the rest of the coconut milk to the desired thickness of the curry. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cover the curry and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. If you like, add basil leave after you take the curry out of the heat. There you have it in the authentic style!

    This recipe sounds very tasty, however the ingredient list and instructions do not match. Instructions call for adding the brown sugar and coconut milk which are not included in the ingredient list.
