Does the nutrition have the rice and or noodles or is this just plain? Doesn't seem too low carb to me. What am I missing?

I'm not sure what everyone else did to this recipe, but mine turned out delicious and had even more flavor the second and third day!! I served it over rice. *the only thing different I did, was add more curry because I love it

Linus - Regardless of whether or not you personally liked or disliked the dish, your comment was rude and ignorant.

This is what the family said: not really sure what the chicken stuff is or what's going on with it,but it's good and we like it. It's spicy and sweet. What is it ? Is it Indian? African?

This is the worst recipe that I have ever made. It tasted so bitter and overwhelming that it went from the slow cooker to the garbage. I consider myself a very good cook and this looked like a good recipe to me. I don’t remember EVER throwing away an entire dinner, but this was terrible and there was nothing I could do to it to “rescue it.” If I could give this negative stars, I would.
