Dh made a pig of himself with this. He adored it and I thought it was very good. It is mildly seasoned (with the curry powder I have on hand). I made it for dinner tonight and did not plan to freeze it, so I cooked it on the stovetop. I used regular basmati rice (that's what I have) and simmered the dish 20 minutes. Dh dislikes raisins so I substituted dried cranberries-also very pretty. Thanks, Tish, for getting me another, "I love you."

My family including a teenager and ten year old really liked this. I cooked the rice seperate from the meat and used coconut milk. The curry is not too strong or overpowering and this is a nice change with pork. I think it would be good with chicken chunks or tenders too. I used craisins because I was out of raisins but think either would be fine. A delicious and easy recipe for a nice change of pace.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
