Not what I was expecting.December 08, 2007By blrrr23
"I am used to eating Curry from American homes, American restaurants as well from Afghanistan and Europe. The curry dish described here is very simple to creat, however the Taste was nothing like curry should taste. Frying curry in butter is often used as a way to add boldness to the curry. This meal was Bitter, a large aftertaste of pineapple and lemon. I followed the ingredients and took my time. Im not a new cook and pride myself on making yummy dishes. So if ou would like a sweeter curry, if you want a flavor for the whole family, this is Not the curry for you."
