It was Blue Dragon I think. Maybe the paste I used (cheating) was the issue – I’ll try using less of that next time. Cheers.

Beth – I think the problem might be your fish sauce. Is it a good brand? As far as I know, the poorer quality brands can be excessively salty so that might well be your problem. I did use the four tbsps (sorry can’t remember my brand right now but google will help you) and it was delicious. Yeah, the supermarket is next to a big Morrison’s so I guess that is the one you mean.

Hi Helen, thought this look great so just gave it a go – did you really use the 4 TABLESPOONS of fish sauce specified in the recipe? I did and it was so salty that me and the pet pig (boyfriend) couldn’t finish it – very annoying as you could tell that without the overt saltiness it would have been a cracker.

Is the Asian supermarket in Peckham you mean the one by the big Safeway?

Oooo you have to let me know where the Asian supermarket is in Peckham.. will help me to stock up on my return in August! Sounds like you are having your very own version of the monsoon…! Wish it would arrive here in Delhi!

This looks great, I love the hint of rice poking through all of that coconut-creamy sauce. South east asian curries with pineapple are the best — duck is another one that works a treat with pineapple.

I have never heard of pineapple in a Thai style curry before but now that I think about it the sweetness would probably work quite well and after all who doesn’t love Thai food or even more so Thai style curry (said as surveying leftover takeaway container from last nights Thai rice delivery of of Massaman curry!)

Mmmm, looks light yet satisfying and delicious! I do love my meat, but once in a while seafood curries are great. I can imagine the pineapple must be a perfect ingredient…

I have no idea – maybe I’ll ask my supervisor when I bump into her next but you could very well be right.
