This is so much like the food we ate in Brazil! I didn't have curry or tumeric and I added a few other spices instead and it didn't take away for the great flavor. Putting it over rice it was like we were back in Brazil eating their great food.! - 2/7/11

My husband and I loved this recipe. I made quinoa with onion, celery & carrots and served this chicken dish and it was amazing. I added a few chicken wings and my husband wants to make chicken wings with this sauce next. - 1/23/13

This was a great meal. My hubby thought it was a little too hot, so next time I make it I will cut the cayenne pepper in half. I thought it was perfect though. - 9/10/11
