Easy to make, which is always a plus. I didn't really change anything, just increased the ingredients a little. It didn't make much. I can't see how this could serve six people. I served it with brown rice. I was worried that it wouldn't be spicy enough, but it had a good kick. I did add the cilantro, and I wish I hadn't. I'll probably make this again with some tweaking.
