  1. Really close to our takeaways version too. I wasn’t sure how many mls each tin of coconut cream so I just put one 400ml tin to start. At the end of cooking, the cream had split so I removed the liquid, added some flour and another 200mls of coconut cream and whisked until thickened on the stove – then added back to the dish. Served with coconut rice. Delicious!

    This was the most amazing curry I’ve made yet. I substituted the beef for chicken (4 large drumsticks & 1 large breast). Followed recipe except for coriander. Needed thickening at the end. Next time I will try the tea towel trick. 5 hours on low & the chicken was so tender. Served with coconut rice. The most beautiful & smooth flavours. Absolutely delicious & can’t wait to make it again.

    Loved this recipe. Cooked on low for 8 hours, perfectly tender chuck steak and no splitting of the coconut milk. Veges just perfectly cooked. i did add a large red chilli and a teaspoon of fenugreek. Thanks for posting this.
