I really Loved this rice dish. It has allot of really tasty flavors. I added everything in the recipe except for the raisins, because my daughter doesn't like them. This rice is even good without the tomatoes, pineapple, almonds. A definite keeper. Made it with Mean Guy's General Tso's Chicken also found on this website. Will be eating this yummy rice again for lunch tomorrow. Thank you breezermom for giving us this lovely Thai recipe. Made it for Photo Tag game.

This was good, except the curry powder was overpowering. To fix the dish, I added a bit more coconut milk, 2 tbsp of ketchup, and sugar. After those additions, the dish was AMAZING! I did not add pineapples, for I'm not a big fan.
