I have made this recipe so many times it is on speed repeat. Tonight for something different I used chicken thighs cut into chunks and added instead of prawns. Cooked for 8mins along with sugar snap peas. No toasted coconut used. Good alternative if prawns not available.
1) remember the simmering basket for the top of the lid...(oops!)
2) this served 2 people in our house... We do love our Asian style soups and prawns ;-)
3) DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE COCONUT!!!!!!! Luckily, I had more.... Silly Leisa!!
I guess Leisa it would all depend on how juicy and the size of your lime is - also too how keen you are on a lime flavour. So I think it would be a personal taste thing whether to use the whole or just a half. I'm pleased you liked it! :)

Yes Leisa - I burnt my coconut the first time I did it too.... :(
Leisa says
Yum. Loved it!!!
Just wondering if we needed the other 1/2 of the lime?! :-)
