This exceeded my expectations! I used curry powder, cumin & a bit of cardamom. I also used all sour cream. Delicious! The red pepper gave it a little kick but not too much that my 8 yr old didnt enjoy as well. Sauce was delicious but doing the low carb thing so ate solo. Thanks for posting! A definite repeat recipe.

With a little extra curry powder and a sprinkle of sugar to balance out the flavors, hubby and I enjoyed this as an appetizer and both of us agreed; it's YUMMY. Hubby liked the meat to sauce ratio...he loves his meat. I also think it would work quite well mixed with a bit of rice and turned into a cold curry prawn salad on day two.

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
