    Excellent! Didn't use curry powder, but may next time (I usually prefer to add corriander and cumin, which are the predominant spices in a curry powder, anyway, leave out the soya sauce and definitely omit the salt. With the fish sauce, this is plenty salty already!

    The recipe needs major tweaking to be great.
    My changes:
    1. Don't add any salt
    2. Use 2 not 3 tablespoons fish sauce
    3. Use 2 not 3 pounds of chicken and make sure to season it
    4. Add carrots, mushrooms, and bell pepper
    5. Use the whole can of coconut milk

    Loved this dish- but the recipe calls for entirely too much salt. It has to be a typo, a teaspoon would be sufficient. I made it for guests, and they loved it minus the excess saltyness. I used lemongrass and peppers from our garden, really made the dish special! Yum!

    After reading other reviews, I made a couple of modifications and this turned out really well. I didn't add any salt - and was really glad. The soy sauce and fish sauce definitely gave it plenty of salt! I used 3 dried red peppers b/c that's what I had on hand - and it turned out REALLY SPICY. I added a little extra sugar and used a whole can of light coconut milk, which gave me plenty of extra sauce. I also omitted the ten minutes of covered cooking and just simmered it for 10-15 minutes. My spicy-loving husband said it was awesome and a winner.

    All 7 members declared this their favorite of all time. We've been meeting for 12 years, once/month.

    I omitted the chlles and fish sauce to make sure it would work for all. Doubled the recipe and it worked great. Lots of leftovers and I'm so excited!

    As written, this receipt is REALLY salty. I couldn?t imagine not seasoning the chicken with the Table spoon on Kosher. So, adjusting the quantities of coconut milk (increase, soy sauce (I would go with a lower sodium soy sauce, decrease and fish sauce (decrease. I personally kicked up the heat and sweetness with more peppers and sugar. But if you?re making this receipt for the first time, realize how much salt actually being added through the soy and fish sauce.

    This recipe was really quick and easy. Had great flavor, but the Kosher salt, should NOT be optional. The soy and fish sause have plenty. I really couldn't eat this. Way too salty. Would definitely make again with out the added salt.
