    Great flavor- reminded me of indian curry. I really liked this recipe because it was easy for me to ladle aside some of the sauce to cook a chicken breast (since I can't eat shellfish) before I added the shrimp. It took a few minutes longer to cook, but was ready at essentially the same time- so it seemed like I was only fixing one meal

    Just had this for dinner. It's a winner! I was a bit wary about using 2 tablespoons of ground coriander, but it was fine. I omitted the extra 1/2 cup of water and added 1/2 teaspoon crushed chilli to give it a little bit of heat. I also added 3 teaspoons of lime juice at the end of the cooking time. Next time, for our taste, I'd double the amount of salt. A great recipe that will adapt well to fish, chicken, and vegetable curries. Thanks MizzNezz.

    This dish is AWESOME. Everyone that I serve it to loves it. Though there appear to be many ingredients, it takes only minutes to make.
