Tip

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts before using them in a recipe intensifies their flavor. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350° for 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Be sure to watch them carefully so they don't burn.

First of all, it looks really gross on your plate! :) I guess I shouldn't have tried this plate because I don't think my husband and I are really fans of indian/thai food. The flavor wasn't really bad, but I don't like the chinese 5 spice powder and we just couldn't stomach this recipe. I think it was a combination of the looks and texture. I ended up throwing out the leftovers and we couldn't even finish our rice!

This was so good!! I attempted to make it just as recipe said but missed the applebutter so I sliced up apple and added it instead. I did add more broth as I wanted a little more sauce to go with the rice. Yum, my husband loved it. I have tried other recipes with pumpkin and always surprised how good they are! Thanks

I've made a lot of curry dishes and this is one of the best! All the flavors combined perfectly.

We made this using home-made apple butter and it was delicious! The diverse ingredients in this recipe combine to create an authentic Indian flavor that ranks up there with the best curry recipes we have tasted since being in India.

While this wasn't quite up to dishes we enjoyed at our favorite (and now closed) Thai restaurant, this dish certainly pleased my husband. The long list of ingredients produced a dish with a deep, rich flavor. I will be making this again!
