This is a lovely option for a coeliac friendly / gluten free meal.  However, when making it you should ensure that your ingredients are gluten free.  Check your curry paste and fish sauce are free from gluten - they generally are however, some curry pastes include soy and this isn't gluten free unless expressly noted.  So do check ingredients on the jars first.
