     My family loved it! I added a tiny bit of water because it seemed too dry. We really liked the lentils and beans that I served with it. Luckily I had some cooked lentils in the freezer and used the microwave brown rice with it. I used half the measure of the red pepper flakes. - 5/21/14

     This was great! I added more water to make a thinner sauce. Very tasty. - 9/8/11

     Very spicy! I would also recommend adding chicken broth to make more sauce. I served this over brown rice. - 4/19/11

     Delishious!!! I used fresh ginger, doubled the curry and added some chicken broth to thin the sauce and it was amazing! I will definately make this again. My whole family loved it. - 3/28/11

     I used hot curry paste instead of curry powder, and boy it was hot hot HOT! So tasty, though! What a great recipe. I think this would also be great with chicken. - 1/18/11

     I liked this very much. Next time I will add some golden raisins for a sweet contrast. I don't think it needed to have a sauce. The peanutty coating was great. Hubby and I ate all 5 servings. (No way could this feed 5) - 9/16/10

     This is great! I also added broth and soy sauce to make it soupier. The flavors are incredible, and I can't wait for dinner (leftovers) tonight! - 4/14/10

     This was delicious, but I added about a cup of a mixture of water and vegetable broth. Otherwise, it would have been too dry. When I checked the nutritional information on the SparkPeople site, it actually had about 433 calories and 35 grams of fat per serving, which is much higher than stated. - 9/21/08

     The mix of spices is excellent. I had difficulty getting the peanut butter to stay melted. I'd add water and it would turn into a sauce then it would get sticky again. Still tasted good though. Would recommend adding Soy sauce for salt and I like to add sweetener (honey, splenda etc.) - 8/1/08

  • JUDIBOOTIE
     This was AWESOME! Everything I love about food. I made it with pork, but am going to try it with chicken too! I add more carrots as well! YUM! - 6/25/08
  • JEYRING
     this was really good! very spicy to me but I love the spice with the sweet peanut sauce taste. Will cook again, but with less crushed red pepper next time. I added a little water as well to let it simmer. - 6/21/08

     IT SMELLS SO GOOD COOKING. PORK TENDER. VERY HOT AND SPICY, JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT! - 4/5/08
  • SUMMERCHANNY
     This recipe is DELICIOUS and I don't normally care for curry! I added a little water to it to make it more 'saucy' and I served over buckwheat noodles. - 4/4/08

     Even DH, the non pork eater, says this sounds itneresting (and in a good way)! Will have to try! - 4/1/08
