The juice of 2 limes isn’t too overwhelming? That seems like a lot!

Delicious! But the recipe was VERY badly written. Food.com, don't you READ these recipes before re-publishing them? For starters, step 1 is to COOK the pasta and drain it. Next, "chopped" in the USA means "ground." I assumed it means "cut into bite-sized pieces. Then brown them. In what? butter? oil? which oil? How much? And "2-3 minutes per side." WHAT side? After cooking the chicken and pasta, make up the flavoring paste. When that is fully blended (preferably with a whisk,) THEN prepare the milk sauce. When it is ready, blend in the seasoning paste. THEN combine the chicken, chives and herb (I replaced cilanto with parsley - genetic reasons.) and sauce with the pasta. GEE!!!! I can cook, but a novice would be TOTALLY misled by these instructions.

You must add yellow curry to this, and I also garnished with chopped peanuts.
