    Very Good! More like a soup than a stew, I would use less water next time-and maybe add more chicken, other than that it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe - 3/18/08

    Sensational, I did omit the potatoes and used less water then spooned it over basmati rice. My kids loved it and the milk helped tone down the chiles. - 2/23/08

    Very high sodium content. Just add garlic instead of garlic salt for flavor - 2/21/08

    I'd call this soup, not stew. That's just me. That aside, this is a wonderfully spiced dish that is light but heartily filling. I froze leftovers for weekday lunches. Worked out great! - 3/10/07
