Cook noodles according to instructions on pack.

Heat little oil in a thick bottommed pan.Add 2-3 tbsp of the curry paste and saute for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears and the colour just starts to change.You can saute a few more minutes if you like,just make sure that it is not burnt.

Add the chopped veggies,chicken and prawns and little salt.Make sure it gets coated with the paste and saute for just 1-2 minutes and then add coconut milk.Stir well and bring to a boil.Reduce the heat and let it simmer till the veggies get cooked.
Once the veggies are cooked for a few minutes,add the noodles and mix gently till it is coated with sauce/gravy.Add more coconut milk and salt if needed and cook for a few more minutes till everything gets blended and the sauce is reduced or thickened as per taste or choice.Continue cooking if you prefer it as dry or stop when saucy gravy is obtained.Serve warm.
