"This mild Malaysian green curry is delicious served over Thai rice! If a blender is not used, chop ingredients finely and simmer for longer."

Surprisingly spicy. May want to tone down if you aren't comfortable with really spicy foods. Even with the spice, it was very good. As always, I baked the tofu first. I like tofu a little crispy.

While it smells delicious, unfortunately we found this recipe very bland and unspectacular. I think adding the water takes a good deal of flavor out. Also, be warned that if you use a blender, many of the ingredients don't get blended well since they are too small for the blender to catch- I'd recommend a food processor if you have one.

man, they weren't kidding when they say "mild." the amount of water it calls for totally drowns the flavor out. i ended up adding more curry, sugar, salt, two serrano peppers and about half a cup of peanut butter to compensate. still, though much improved, it did not have the bold flavor i was looking for. if i do try this again, i'll use two cans of coconut milk, no water, and double up on the spices.

Delicious! Lots of flavor. I used garbanzo beans instead of the potatoes. I will definitely make this again.

We found this recipe to be very flavorful! The one problem I had with it was that the lemongrass never softened. I don't know if I didn't grind it in the food processor long enough or if I didn't simmer it long enough. (I simmered it for an extra 10 minutes.) The next time I make this, I will use only the softest parts of the lemongrass stalks. Also, we used 4 potatoes instead of 2 and only 8 fl. oz of water. It all wouldn't fit in my pan!

First off don't put the lemon grass in your chopper unless you want to be picking tiny little pieces out of your mouth with every bite. Actual stalks of lemon grass are not meant to be eaten. I've heard there is a lemon-grass paste available in some grocery stores so maybe that would work. Otherwise, chop your grass into approx 10cm segments and add to the mix so it can be removed more easily. Also, cut the water out completely. Adding a cup of water totally drowns out any flavour at all. If you like a thinner curry, MAYBE add a bit more milk/coconut milk if you so desire. *update* I did find lemon grass chopped finely enough to actually eat in an Asian supermarket in Missasagua (one of the suburbs of Toronto, Canada). Unfortunately it's really hard to find, and even the biggest Asian markets don't seem to always carry it. You might find such a thing amongst the spices. Good luck!

After reading the reviews of others, I made some changes. To spice it up, I added a dash (or two) of cayenne, and reduced by half the amount of water. I also skipped the white sugar completely. Lastly, I thought it needed some colour and some crunch, so I threw in some raw snow peas in the simmering stage. This is a good dish, and I'll probably make it now and then.

After reading the reviews, made some adjustments. No water and used a total of 1 1/2 cans of coconut milk. To puree the various ingredients, added a splash of veg. broth which added a bit more flavor. Cut the lemongrass in 1 inch pieces and took them out right before serving. Those who wanted a bit more kick added chili paste. Served it with jasmine rice. Very creamy and vegan friendly.

Based on other reviews about the flavor being too mild, I left out the potatoes and water. The flavor was very good and it was also ready a lot faster.

I would probably make this again, but without the tofu. I also found that there was too much water, so I boiled it longer and even added a little flour near the end to help it thick more. I used a curry paste from a jar - this added a great deal of flavor and was more authentic than just "plain" curry powder would have been. I did not use the lemongrass. Enjoyed the flavor very much. It was the texture of the tofu that I did not care for.
