We thought this recipe tasted great! It's a great emergency recipe for those times when you forget to thaw meat or plan supper. I think next time I want to try to add a little lemon. Thanks!

I made this for my next door neighbor, she just had knee surgery and not able to get about. She and her hubsand were delighted! This was just delicious -- had to try it before sending it on its way! I will make this again soon for my family! Thanks Timothy! Made for 2009 Spring PAC

Very good. I used brown rice. Added slightly more salt and curry. Yum. Will make again.
