I doubled the sauce but only put in three tablespoons of curry. Next time I will reduce it to 2 1/2 tablespoons. The sweetness from the apple and banana were great. The fruit adds to the flavor but does not overpower the dish. Three chicken breasts were used. I had frozen shrimp which were added in the last two minutes.
