Easy to make. I expected this to be more flavorful with all the ingredients that went into it or I guess, more specifically, to have a more complex flavor. It definitely had a little spice to it and the curry flavor was there, so maybe bland is not the word for it, but it needs something. We both added a little garlic salt to our plates and I think maybe the addition of something with a smoky flavor like cumin might help to tie things together and add a little dimension. I would definitely make this again with some modification to the seasonings. Thanks for sharing. Update: I made this again, but with the addition of 1/4 tsp each garlic salt and cumin. Very good.
