Altered ingredient amounts. I have found a very good massaman curry paste available in the supermarkets that will save you time and effort it is called Valcom not too hot for kids. - 20 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
Marlz on your advice I also got the Valcom curry paste and it made this recipe sooooo much simpler....I found it to be easy to make and I also added a handful of frozen cross cut green beans for colour and used casserole beef and slowed cooking time to about 4 hours....it's not hot at all despite how scary the paste looks....if you wanted hot you made want to add so sliced red chillies to it as well - 25 Aug 2014 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
