     I knew this recipe would not go over with my resident meat eaters so I added just 8 oz of diced turkey kielbasa. It was well received. A great hearty meal in one pot! - 11/13/07

     Definitely add hot sauce, 1 tbsp of salt/or salt substitute, & a little turkey sausage if wanted--1 tsp celery salt. - 5/11/09

     Making it again tonight - just 3 weeks later. I added the turkey kielbasa as suggested and used broth instead of water. Also doubled the recipe for leftovers. Worth it because it was SOOO good! - 3/31/12

     This was wonderful. I shared it with a friend and she loved it to. Low Cal and packed with nutritional goodies. We decided that the spicyness is determined by the power of the curry used. - 1/29/11

     I am not a big fan of spinach, even though I know I should eat more of it, so I made this, and it was really nice. I didn´t have any sweet potato, so I left that out, and at the end I added some balsamic vinegar, that really made all the difference. - 1/19/09

     very bland. I seasoned it a lot (including peanut butter) to make it more palatable to me. - 10/4/07

     I upped the curry powder but it was very tasty, filling and un believably filling. I served it with naan bread. - 7/19/11

     This is my go to pantry meal when I have nothing else to make. It works well for leftover lunches too. I add a little berber powder to add some heat (about 1/2 tsp). If I have it, I saute some spicy sausage. It ups the calorie count, but it is wonderful! Serve with some cous cous or brown rice. - 5/9/11

     Could be more flavorful - 2/4/11

     I used low-sodium organic chicken broth and reduced the amount of onion (for digestion reasons). It was still delicious, filling, and inexpensive. - 2/8/10

     Made this and my family turned their noses up at it... I thought it would be more flavorful. - 4/21/08

     I ate this for supper last night - pretty tasty, though without the frozen spinach I just added a bag of the prewashed fresh stuff 15 minutes from the end. I added Italian sausage for extra protein and didn't think it was at all bland. - 3/5/08
  • FRENCHTOSD
     I used one can of Veggie Broth and one cup of water. I also used hot sauce instead of pepper. It was great and my 14 yo son loved it with rice. - 1/12/08
