I have made this several times now, and it is absolutely delicious. Even without the topping, it's a winner, and my guests agree.

I had no problems w/ consistency. This is a delightful recipe! Awakens one's palate w/ the subtle pear texture & sweetness, yet spiciness from the curry. Very tasty. Thank-you for sharing!

I would give it zero if I could. It came out so liquidifed (that it was like water) that after adding alot of things to it to make it not of water consistency, it did not work at all. I think that it needs less liquid and it would be delicious- because the flavour was good, but not edible after doing this recipe.

Pears aren't my favorite fruit just to eat raw, so I was looking for a recipe to use up what I had. This is so good I think even my fruit-hating husband would like it. I used a full 6 oz. carton of yogurt for the topping, and I use more than a tablespoon topping per serving. My pears were quite firm, so I simmered it about twice as long before I pureed it.
