My wife has been making this for several years and is certainly a family favorite.

I didn`t like because it was dry, savory from juice and not enough flavor.

This dish was delicious! The curry taste is very strong, so don't overdo it.

My husband says this is his new favorite dish. The rest of my family and I also like it so I'm sure I will be making it again soon.
