While this eventually turned out to be very good, I had to do some adjusting. The recipe said it served 2 but it seemed like such a large amount of ingredients would make too much. So I cut everything approx. by half, except the coconut milk. I used a whole can (almost 2 cups) b/c I didn't want to store half a can. I added additional curry spice at the end, along with some salt (did I miss that in the recipe?). It smelled heavenly and tasted wonderful. Now I'll know to keep the spices at the original recipe's amounts! Thanks, Kiwi Kathy!
