This is absolutely Delicious! We like more curry so I used double the amount,as well as double the Garlic. I did not have coconut milk so I used Chicken broth. I did not add raisins because my Husband doesn’t like them. It is a mouth watering dish,alone or over rice.We think i will be great on garlic bread too!
