This was very good & we'll make it again, but it needs to either go over rice or pasta, or be served with bread to soak up the broth. It just needs that extra something to accompany it. We didn't find it to be spicy, but tend to like spicy foods. Maybe it's spicy to those who like milder dishes? We look forward to trying it again, probably with rice.08/21/09

My husband and I love this recipe. Although, my husband is not a fan of curried foods, this has turned out to be one of the meals he looks forward to everytime I make it. I usually use spinach and it turns out great. I would like to try it next with chicken or shrimp.12/07/08
