We loved it!! I added squash (because I had some) and left out the basil (because we didn't have any). Also added two more tablespoons of curry sauce and 1/2 cup coconut milk. (to use the whole can) Wasn't very spicy but my son (who is 7) LOVED IT! SCORE!! Took 30 minutes or so total to have a super yummy dinner on the table!! Will make again soon!! Love the fact that it uses things I have on hand at all times! I see this being a new family favorite!! Thanks!

Very, very tasty recipe! I used chicken breast fillets for the meat and recipe #70574 for the red curry paste. Although I followed your directions for the cooking process I did change a couple of things. We love our curries and we like them hot, so I used 3 tablespoons of curry paste. I also left out the zucchini as we didn't have any, used lime juice rather than lemon for the same reason. And at the end I garnished with sliced birds eye chillies and coriander/cilantro. Didn't feel that the curry needed thickening so didn't use the cornstarch. We loved the flavours of this red curry and it really takes very little time to make, a very big hit with us. Thanks for the recipe!!
