We forgot to use the turmeric powder and I think we lost a lot of flavor because of it. Also we used pecans instead of walnuts, but we really liked the nutty flavor. We served it cold with some Hawaiian chicken and it was good. Next time we'll definitely use the turmeric!

I made this recipe X5 for a Hawaiian themed birthday party. I am so glad I chose this recipe - - loved the combination of all the ingredients and it tasted so good!! I made the rice and prepared the rest of the ingredients the night before the party and put everything together a couple of hours before we ate. It was perfect! Thanks for posting this recipe.

Excellent flavor! I served this with dale!'s Waikiki BBQ Chicken and it was great. It was very fruity and the turmeric gave such a wonderful color and taste. Thanks for posting!

Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by in my little niche of the mighty Zaar world. Here is a quick link to the beauty recipes I've posted (highest rated so far):http://www.recipezaar.com/r/chef=6357/253/451/18/ls=h A few things I've done:- 1. Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. 2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. 3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. 4. Worked as a Moderator on www.allpoetry.com - my BEST and FAVOURITE site on the internet. My other interests include: Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, Feng Shui, Face Reading, Reiki and Astrology! I am really very keen on getting well-versed with metaphysical sciences such as Astrology, I-Ching, Feng Shui, Runes, Enneagram, Kabbalah and many more. I love researching on the mythology of ancient Goddesses and then condensing my research into poems. In the mood to gift me something? Here's what I'd love - A Nissan 350Z {my dream car}
