This is a simple curry dish and so delicious. It probably deserves 5 stars but I rated it a 4 only because we like a little more "sauce" and this only called for one can of coconut milk. So I doubled it, doubled the veggies and added a tablespoon or two of agave nectar to give it some sweetness. I left the spices alone because I didn't want it to be too spicy for my 21 month old daughter. We'll make this again and probably double "my" recipe for more left overs. Made 4 good-sized servings + one kid-sized serving.

My sauce didn't thicken either, but that was alright. I chopped a whole onion also. I served with brown rice and it was delicious. I am going to make it with shrimp next.

I loved the recipe but I added an extra ingredient for my taste.

I've never tried making a curry dish - though I love trying them at Asian restaurants!

I didn't have spinach (nor am I a big fan) so I tossed in some finely sliced baby carrots instead. Overall, fantastic and easy... looking forward to leftovers tomorrow for lunch.

It took me a while to find the coconut milk in my grocery store - it wasn't by the evaporated milk... it was in the Asian food section instead - just a hint if you're new to this ingredient too!

We've made this recipe several times and devour it. Because we like things a bit spicy, we add some Thai chili paste to the mixture, but otherwise go with the recipe as written.

This meal is super easy to make and is absolutely delish with the coconut and curry!!

I've made this dish twice and we really enjoy all the good flavors. The first time I didn't have baby spinach, but used it the second time and found either way is just fine. I also tried using chicken breast meat and the next time chicken thigh meat and prefer the chicken breast as recommended in the recipe.
