This is a great recipe and easy to make. Plus, I usually have the ingredients on hand... always a plus. We're wimps, I guess, but I had a feeling the curry paste would be too much. Still, I tried it with 1/3 cup... after adding the chicken I took some of the curry out as I KNEW it was going to be too spicy. It turned out plenty hot, even after taking out some of the curry. I think I'll use about half next time. And there will be a next time! Thank you.

I too could not get my hands on mussamen curry paste--used green curry paste--conservatively--skipped the flour and water step as I was happy with the dish after uncovering and allowing the curry to reduce slightly before adding the tomatoes. I also added some sliced banana which was a lovely foil to the sharpness of the curry and the acid of the tomato. Delicious, Beck!

This was wonderful!! I had to use mild yellow curry paste as I couldn't find musaman curry paste, but otherwise followed the recipe. The curry paste/coconut milk ratio is perfect, we felt the dish had just the right amount of heat and spiciness. Served this over rice and sprinkled with chopped cashews - the perfect finishing touch! Thanks for sharing the recipe Beck, this will get made again and again!
