  1. This looks fabulous! Just wondering whether I can replace the full cream milk with say Coconut Milk as I cannot have too much dairy? Thanks ?

  2. This looks really delicious, is the recipe cooked on high the whole time or just the last 15 min when the prawns go in?
    Sorry if it’s a silly question but I want to make sure I do it right lol, it doesn’t say high or low for the first 2 hours of cooking.
    Thank you

  3. I have tried it twice and it has not worked for me. Followed to a t and still runny water sauce and just not nice. So disappointed I really like the look of yours. I suck at this cooking game

    1. What size slow cooker are you using Shelley – that can make a difference to your cooking times to thicken etc
      Are your prawns fresh or frozen or?
      Have you considered increasing your cornflour to an extra spoon if you are finding yours still not thickened enough in your cooker?

    I’ve made this and it’s really easy and delicious. I added more milk and then rice. It was beautiful.

  5. 4 stars
    As with the other folk, I found it needed thickening more and required extra CF, for our taste I used 3t Curry and half t of salt. Mixed veg added and served on Rice. Quite nice meal.
