Excellent! I couldn't find the Heinz curry sauce (I don't think they sell it in the U.S.), so I subbed it with a homemade sauce. I used the Banana Curry Sauce from Chicken With Banana Curry Sauce - Caribbean (a half recipe of the sauce is about right). It worked perfectly! Lots of great flavors here, a wonderful combination of savory and sweet. Reviewed for PAC.
