I don't know how I missed writing my review since I've made this more than once. Right there, that's saying a lot. I only deviated from the recipe in 2 ways: I omitted the cloves b/c I didn't have any, and I used precooked shrimp. It's so easy that way--only takes a few minutes. I've served it over brown rice as well as with whole grain naan. Either way, it's so yummy, my DH and I could have easily eaten the whole recipe by ourselves. Excellent!
