I really enjoyed this recipe its not, however, for picky eaters. It did seem to need something else and plan to experiment further. Its definitely something I will make again.

Great, easy recipe. I added some freshly grated ginger to the sauce as suggested by some other reviewers.

It was a split decision in our house. I really liked it, my husband did not care for it at all. My teenage son thought it needed more curry powder. I had to only give three stars because of the average in my house. I want to try it again doubling the sauce as some have done, but my husband thinks once is enough.

Really tasty meal. Needed something (that 'kick' some other reviews talked about) but all I did was use fresh ground black pepper at the table and that was enough this time. Will try adding something spicy during prep next time. I added some ground ginger along with the curry powder, and doubled the sauce, which I highly recommend, as our basmati rice absorbed a lot so I was glad to have a generous amount of sauce. Love the way this recipe features the light and tropical taste of lime! Haven't found that in any similar recipe yet. An easy prep and ready fast - great if short on time! Thanks for your post.

My husband and I loved this meal! We added some ginger per an earlier suggestion. Also doubled the sauce but not the curry so it wouldn't be too spicey for the kids. It didn't go over too well with them, but they ate it. I will make this again for just my husband and I. Delicious!
