very interesting recipe :D I halved it, which was plenty for four people. I used chicken fillets (chicken tenders), & cubed them. I omitted the raisins, since I don't care for them, and used the sweet chutney option. I used fresh broccoli. i did allow the chicken to cook for several minutes in the spices, before adding the vegetables, and added the peas towards the end, so that they wouldn't over cook. I added the coconut milk at the same time as the broccoli. I decided to omit the pasta, and rather serve this over couscous, which gave me plenty of sauce, which we enjoy. I found this more spicy than sweet and sour, but it was good. Another time, I might add chopped pineapple and some cubed bell pepper, if I wanted a sweeter curry. Good recipe, Larry, thank you! made for PAC Fall 2008
