    O.K.
    I tried this without rice; the flavors were too strong and conflicting for me. I'll try the left overs over rice as suggested. - 4/17/11

    Good
    I used lime juice instead of lemon, because I ran out. Only thing I don't like is the STRINGY mango pulp. I choked on it a few times. Next time I'll try Papaya. Other than that it was good. Thanks for the recipe. - 4/20/10

    Incredible!
    This is SO Good! This is the first vegetarian dish I've tried from Spark, and I'm impressed by all the flavor. I wish I had the words to properly rave about this. THANKS! - 2/24/08
