I'm in love with this dish. Oh my goodness the flavors are delicious. I didn't have any curry so I used Ras-El-Hanout (Moroccan Spice Blend) and tripled as ask for cinnamon of this recipe only because it pleased me to do so. It's not a reflection on anything lacking in this but just personal taste. I made a 2 serving size and have enough for 4 meals! Very generous serving sizes. Easy to make and the aroma while cooking is wonderful. Thank you Karia for posting this!

very good, it needed some heat so I added in cayenne pepper, also I increased the curry, I think it needs some fresh garlic so I might add that in next time, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten
