Alot of the reviews were very helpful, I kinda just mixed and matched to what I thought would taste good. Used sesame oil, cooked a few cloves of garlic and a piece of ginger in the oil before adding the chicken. added potatoes/peanuts/peanut butter/fish sauece. couldn't find any coriander so added a little bit of store bought curry mix in. cooked chicken and onions for a few minutes before adding the rest of the veggies in and then let the whole simmer for 10-20 minutes on low heat. great great recipe, have been trying out a few recipes over the past few weeks and this is def the best so far.

This was only okay. Edible, but nothing to rave about. My kid and hubby wouldn't really eat it -- too spicy for them (and I only used 1 tbsp of curry.) I added peanut butter as someone suggested -- made the dish tan colored instead of pink or red. I also added coriander as someone suggested. Just wasn't a real "wow' factor and didn't really taste like red curries we get in thai or indian restaurants. Probably won't try again, but will try another curry recipe. I'm determined to find one we love.

Made this recipe last night never having made curry before. I had read the reviews first so I made it with 2 tbsp of fish sauce, 1 lime, and a couple dollops of peanut butter and upped the curry paste to 3 tbsp. I tasted it and it still wasn't spicy, I ended up adding at least 5 tbsp of curry paste along with about 2 tbsp of red pepper flakes and it was just barely hot. I'm used to eating curry that makes my eyes water! It was good but next time I'll know not to be stingy with the spices. Definitely going to make it again, my husband loved it!

This was just ok. Not enough flavor for me, unfortunately!

There's a little mom and pop place in Dallas, Tx called "Tukta Thai" and they have the best red curry chicken. I use that as a basis for making my own. Instead of using olive oil, use sesame oil and it does not hurt to gently sprinkle some salt and pepper on the chicken. For the veggies I used FRESH green beans, zucchini, carrots, and red or green bell peppers. The missing ingredient here are bamboo shoots. It is a must it makes all the difference. I added fish sauce and 2 tablespoons of sugar. If you like spicy just add pepper flakes and cayenne pepper to taste. Also, i added like 3 tablespoons of the curry paste. I have been playing with the recipe and it finally taste like the one from the restaurant, my hubby was in love. Personally there really is NO need for the cornstarch. End result will be 5 STARS!!!!

This was the first time I've tried cooking Thai food. It turned out exactly how I've had this same dish at restaurants! My family and I loved it and plan on making this again!

I agree with many of the others that this recipe is pretty good but a little bland. I decided to first simmer some onion with garlic and cook the chicken in that with salt and pepper before adding it to the curry and coconut milk. Like others, I at least doubled the curry paste. I used jalepeno peppers instead of bell and added snow peas instead of zucchini. Also, because others suggested lime juice, I added lemon juice (didn't have lime juice) and finally added quite a bit of basil. After these additions, it was very good!!

This turned out to be so good... :-) Although I did add 7-8 lime leaves and some chopped lemongrass to the oil just before adding the chicken and the veggies. Also I did not find Coconut Milk and used Lite Coconut cream, diluted with water and skipped the cornstarch.. Yum with steamed Jasmine rice.. :-)

Very bland (at least for my tastes) even going with the comments-recommended 2Tbsp, next time I'll taste and check and probably end up more around 4Tbsp. I added a chopped potato, a pinch of garlic, a spoonful of peanut butter, and put it over rice. Yum!
