    This is an awesome dish. It's really spicy and flavorful and you don't need to eat a ton of it to be satisfied! Also very easy to make. - 6/28/10

    This was pretty easy to make. My family thought it was a little spicy, I thought it was just fine! Thanks for another staple meal for my family. - 6/16/10

    I was searching for something I could make out of the contents of my cupboard and this was perfect! Delicious, filling and healthy. Plus I have plenty left to freeze for quick dinners later the week. Thank you! - 5/5/10

    This is REALLY good! I halved the red pepper flakes, since my kids don't like too much heat but it still had a nice kick to it from the curry. Served it over quinoa instead of rice. It was delicious and has made a spot in my "Favorites" cookbook! - 1/7/11
