This was a very good base recipe. I was looking for something Indian with no tomatoes and this hit the spot. I upped the recipe to make 6 servings to feed my fiance and have leftovers for lunch the next day. Used red lentils and reconstituted 2 veggie bullion cubes instead of plain water, also added about 3/4 cup shredded carrot and a can of baby peas. Threw it all in the crock pot and let it go for a few hours. Was still very watery when done (probably because I used coconut milk & soy milk instead of coconut cream) so I just added cooked basmati rice to the mix and turned out wonderful!

I tried this using some suggestions from other users, and it was fantastic!!! For a little extra flavor, I used organic vegetable broth instead of water. Yummy!

this recipe came out great except it was very sweet. I think it was the cream of coconut that i used. i had to add more lentils but besides that it was just wonderful.

A decent recipe, but not much in it's own right. It's a good base recipe which you can add to or change, but alone it largely depends on the quality of curry paste (or powder) you use. I used low-fat coconut milk and curry powder, along with a dash of whatever garam masala ingredients I had on hand (a little cardamom, coriander, cinammon, and cumin). I also threw in a handful of raisins. Simple and satisfying dish over rice. My two-year old loved it!

Had to cook it a bit longer than the recipe stated as it was too runny initially. Used 1 tablespoon of curry paste, and threw in some coconut and raisins. Really enjoyed it, even the kids said make it again!

This was really easy to make. I added steamed broccoli and cauliflower to mine. I also added some garlic and garam masala for my personal taste. It was really good with some soy sauce stirred into it. I'll make it again due to how easy it was.

I doubled the recipe since the can was roughly 1.5c of coconut milk. It came out awesome with half the curry paste called for - but I felt it needed more. But then, George likes his food spicy. Also, I added 1T of brown sugar which added to the flavor since I used coconut milk instead of cream of coconut. Fantastic over sushi rice!

Very good recipe. I used chicken broth in place of water and added about 1 1/2 tsp of curry paste. The broth was fiery while it was cooking but it's a bit more tame now. My hubby loves it. It's great served over Jasmine or Basmati rice. Very easy to make, too.

Whoa, Nelly! Loved the flavor, but it was hot, hot, hot. I will probably try it again, but will cut the curry paste in half. Make sure you have a glass of water at hand!

I give this a 4, but hesitantly, and wavered between 3 and 4. It's a good recipe, and so easy, but I found it a bit runny for my taste, and let it simmer for a long time to battle that. I doubled the recipe, but only multiplied the coconut milk by 1.5 (note milk, not cream, based on other reviews), and I'm glad I did. Also used curry powder instead of paste to reduce the "heat" because my 1 year old was going to eat it. I'll probably make again mainly because it's so easy.

Very good recipe, but I'd like to try to clear up some confusion: COCONUT MILK (not cream of coconut) is what is generally used for Thai Curry bases, and I believe that was the author's intent here. You should be able to find it in the international food aisle (not with the mixed drink materials). Curry paste is much stronger than curry powder -- I'd recommend no more than 1 teaspoon of the curry paste to begin (maybe even less), and then add to taste. 1 tablespoon will knock your taste-buds off!

Cream of cocounut will make this thicker, but coconut milk will be excellent, too. I use curry powder, not curry paste.

This turned out quite well. I think the spicyness all has to do with the curry paste. I made mine from scratch from a recipe I found on recipezaar.com/95907. Top with some mango chutney. Yum.

I followed the recipe exactly and my boyfriend and I didn't like it, but we don't like lentils very much. I only tried it to get rid of some lentils I had lying around the house. If you like lentils, you might like this recipe.

Great flavor, but WAY too spicy. I would suggest using less than 1/2 of the amount of curry paste that the recipe calls for, and supplement the other 1/2 with curry powder, unless you LOVE spicy food.

This recipe was yummy with either coconut cream (coconut juice w/lots of sugar) or coconut milk. I added cooked rice and simmered until it was the consistancy I liked. Then serve it with raisins, coconut, chopped peanuts and other curry fixings! Great for those fasting from meat products!!

When I first looked at this recipe I wasn't sure what "cream of coconut" was. It sounded like cream based coconut soup to me. After looking up and down the aisles of an Asian market I decided that I thought the recipe had intended "coconut milk." That's what I used and it turned out well. It was very flavorful and spicy, though not too hot.
