Tried this last night and half way through, I thought it was going to be another one of my cooking disasters but thankfully it turned out beautifully. Got compliments as well! Great recipe!!!

I was really looking forward to this, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. It was not easy to make, but it had a great aroma that made me think it was going to be great. In the end, I found it both lacked flavor and was too spicey - an odd combination. Maybe the solution would be to add more salt and cut down on the chiles.

Cooked this for my boyfriend and me two nights ago.Like it but next time I might try it with less chilli. Thought it was very hot, although I only just a quarter of a green chilli.But maybe I'm just a bit of a wuss with hot food :) It's a very nice recipe though and I sure make it again.

Very good, the only thing I didn't like was the extra skillet (more washing), however the end result was worth it! thanks
