This can all be thrown in together but I find if turns out AMAZING if the beef is browned and then the curry paste and coconut milk is cooked before everything is chucked in together.

I’ve asked Lisa to pop by here to advise you on her recipe for sure 🙂
As for others it depends on the recipe but generally I wouldn’t triple everything etc just for extra meat or you’d end up with too much liquids. Many recipes will tolerate extra meat with little change or maybe 1/2 extra at most if that makes sense

Hi Pauline
Just wondering I am wanting to double the beef do I double everything? Also how about time do I increase that?
I was also hoping that you could tell me in another recipe it has 500g of meat and I wanted to triple … do I triple everything?
Thank you so much …. I am a huge fan of all your recipes and have all your books. I use your recipes at least twice a week!
Thanks again
Louisa

I probably wouldn’t double everything as it makes quite a lot of sauce. I would probably add another can of paste, another 400ml coconut milk, extra potato and onion and adjust the spices according to taste. Doubling the spices may make it too strong, just extra of everything.
This recipe as is makes a large batch, a good 7-8 serves.
