It was pretty average tasting. The sauce took a long time to thicken up and once I served it, it was lacking spice and taste in general. All I could taste was the coconut milk! Maybe next time I would use less coconut milk and more spices, however I really liked the idea of the garlic/ginger and chilli.

Yum! My family said they loved EVERYTHING about this recipe! Wish I could give it more stars! I doubled it to feed my family of four. I didn't have a red pepper so I used some cayenne and we like our food a little spicy so I added a little more curry. Instead of using salt to taste I used a low sodium soy sauce. I only had grated unsweetened coconut to put on top, but will try it the other way next time, because I will be making this again! Made and reviewed for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap February 2011
