Unlike the first three years of writing this blog, I no longer only cook Indian food. In fact I've been experimenting with Thai, Mexican, Chinese, German and American food for many years.
Today I'd like to show you one of the easiest and tastiest curries I know. This can literally be made in under 20 minutes.It's awesome served simply over boiled egg noodles.
I have a really nice Thai red chilli paste recipe for you but I haven't had the time to type it up yet. Watch this space as I'll be adding it to the blog soon. To be honest, their are some really good commercial brands around so it you don't want to go to the hassle of making your own, you should still be able to make this.
I would be interested to hear from you whether or not you would like me to post other curries from around the world. I've focussed so long on Indian, I'm considering branching out a bit and giving you a few more of my favourites outside India.

Please continue to post curry recipes from around the world, not just Indian curries. I especially like the Thai curry and particularly those which soften the flavour with coconut milk. I think your website is terrific and I make your curries reguLarly. Thank you for all your efforts. Shelley from the USA (Formally of the U.K.)

This is possibly the nicest, tastiest, pork mince I have ever made. !!!!!!....I made it about 5 hours before I was going to eat, and I think that maranade made it so tasty too.
Dan Toombs says
Hi Val
That's great to hear. Really glad you liked it.
Thank you,
Dan

So I have no idea if you still read these replies or where you are I also never write reviews, comments etc but I had to after eating this!! I'm from Sheffield, England and have just cooked this for my husband who is home on R&R from the Forces (Royal Navy). He has declared this as the nicest thing I've ever cooked him!! It was so easy and I have to say I was sceptical as there was so few ingredients but it was genuinely delicious! Please don't take this as criticism but at the end I did add a but of Sriracha Thai sauce just for a little added kick, maybe you could try it and let me know what you think of my palate? ☺
Thank you for the amazing recipe!!
Dan Toombs says
Thank you very much Jill. I'm really glad you and your husband liked the recipe. I'll keep them coming. Thanks for the suggestion too. Next time, I'll give the Sriracha Thai sauce a go!
Cheers,
Dan
Sally Richardson says
Thanks for this recipe. I had pork mince in the fridge and fancied something different but at the last minute! The result was perfect especially considering how quick and easy it was. My fiancee loved it (he knows his curries) and now thinks I'm a culinary goddess! A fabulous recipe that stood out amongst the many many other pork mince recipies I have tried. Loved that it was a curry as an alternative. Delicious!
Dan Toombs says
Thank you very much Sally! I'm really glad you enjoyed the recipes. Thanks for trying it.

Hi Dan, orsm website, just bought the book, great work keep it going!
Have tried several Indian curries of yours and tried this one too and loved it, my better half thought it was too salty. Should I have simmered it for a few minutes after adding the fish and soy sauce and lime maybe to mellow the salt taste?
Cheers Stu
Dan Toombs says
Hi Stu
Thank you very much. If you found it too salty, use less soy sauce. It shouldn't taste salty at all but some soy sauces can be saltier than others. Thanks,
Dan
Trish says
Which of your cookbooks is this recipe found in?
Dan Toombs says
Hi Trish
It is only on my site at the moment. It might be in a future book though.
Thanks,
Dan
Yvonne Blackborough says
This looks great - we love pork mince. It's on the list for the weekend. I would love to see some Malaysian curry recipes if you have any?
Dan Toombs says
Great to hear, I am working on curries from around the world so should have a few Malaysian ones on the blog soon.
Thanks
