I used 2 heaped teaspoons of red curry paste, 1 heaped teaspoon of garlic and 1 heaped teaspoon of ginger paste to give it some zing, plus I used tomato paste instead of tomato juice. Overall, very good.

Made exactly as stated. Nice and easy to make, but it is missing something. I think using red curry paste in place of the powder might do the trick. Made for ZWT6 Voracious Vagabonds.

Good basic recipe, but we thought it needed much more curry flavor.

*Reviewed for Aussie NZ Recipe Swap May 2008* 5 stars as this was quick and easy to make, tasted great and my family all enjoyed it. After reading the previous reviews I decided to add extra onion and celery, used a good quality chicken stock, added about 3 teaspoons of curry powder and I used a bottled tomato pasata sauce instead of the tomato juice. Tasted wonderful and not at all lacking in flavour. Photo also being posted

I loved how quickly this recipe came together. My two youngest children really enjoyed the flavor, but my son and I thought the dish need a bit more spiciness. When I make this again, I'll try the other reviewers' suggestions of adding in garlic and using V8 juice. Made for Green, Ham and Eggs in the Asian forum.
