These are wonderful, with just the right amount of spice. I did one thing differently, however. I let the sauce boil down so it was more like a gravy. The directions do not say to do this and, if you keep the dish covered, it won't happen because the cover will keep the moisture in the pan. So I removed the cover to let the sauce boil down to the thickness I wanted. We loved this recipe and definitely will make it again. Thanks for sharing! -
Fantastic, we loved this recipe, i didnt add any water and used mango chutney, also doubled up on the cayenne. This was so good, im sure it would be great with chicken or fish also. -
Very easy to make and one of the kids even asked for more! Substituted Mango Pepper Jelly for the chutney (excellent) and served over Grande CousCous cooked with the rest of the leftover coconut milk. Will make this again! -
Great flavor, easy to make. I had to substitute mango salsa for chutney, but the flavors were great! -
Doubled this recipe, used mango chutney, and used a little less water so that the sauce would be thicker. Used review advice and simmered sauce uncovered to thicken. Very good flavor-the banana was a great addition

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
