This was actually milder than I thought it would be. Very tasty and easy to throw together after doing the chopping. I changed the veg based on what hubby will eat, so snow peas, red pepper, onion, carrot, and bean sprouts. I thickened the sauce with guar before serving. While I agree this would be wonderful over rice, since I carb count I ate it as is. Might serve on cauliflower fake rice next time. I did use splenda and just a touch of black strap molasses rather than sugar. Thanks for sharing.

This was really delicious! I took off a star only because I tweaked it some for our own tastes and because of what vegetables I had. I doubled most everything because I had a pound of chicken. I added some cilantro at the end along with the zest of the lime. This was great and I will definitely make again!

What a wonderful curry. We enjoyed this dish very much. For the vegetables I used, sweet onions, carrotes, red pepper slices and potatoes. They were excellent in this dish. Loved the bright bold raw flavors. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that I will make again.

Hello fellow cooks-I am on OBGYN doctor and I am new to this website. . I love RecipeZaar since there are so many, easy, delicious, tested recipes. Between myself and my boyfriend, we have 5 children so there is always someone hungry-the family is so happy about the new, freshly cooked foods that have been gracing our table as of late. Gardening- here in south florida we have lots of tropical fruit trees - is another hobby that I enjoy. We love scuba diving too. Recently, I did a tandem parachute jump.
