Very easy to make and quick too. Used a can of diced tomatoes and added some sliced mushrooms (they had to be used that day). For the "spicyness to my liking" I extra added 1/8tsp cayennepepper, 1/2tsp kosher salt, 1/2tsp hot curry powder, 3 garlic cloves (finely grated). The directions did not say when to add the ginger or how much so I used 1tbs, finely grated and sauteed it together with the onion and the other spices. Served it over rice and had a fresh cucumber salad on the side. It was a very good dinner! Thanks for posting. -
This was nice but somewhat bland (for us) and we thought the curry lacked depth, even the leftovers we had the next day, so next time I'll add extra spices. I accidentally used lite unsweetened coconut cream, which gave the sauce a nice creaminess. I added salt and freshly ground black pepper, and an extra teaspoon of curry powder. As the peas were simmering I realised there was no mention of when to add the ginger or how much, so I grated in about a half inch piece. My SO didn't particularly like the combination of peas and tomatoes. As made we'd give it a 3. -
Easy and fast dinner served over basmati rice. I did not have an onion on hand (how did that happen!!) so I used a handful of dried minced onion. Worked well and thickened it up a bit too. I also used a can on diced tomatoes and a drop or two of coconut extract. Hot sauce was added to mine after it was on my plate. Made a good healthy dinner. Thanks dicentra -
Loved this. I love coconut milk and curry together, so this was right up my alley, and an easy way to get my fix on a weeknight. I added a little bit of lime zest, just to brighten the sauce. Next time I might add some lemon grass. I used about 3/3 Tablespoon of red curry paste instead of curry powder. Thanks Di, will certainly make this again!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
