I added apple chucks which made it more moist and delicious.
Very good and easy to make.
GREAT recipe! Super EZ (I’m a real lazy cook) Used just 1tsp of honey, added 1tbsp of curry powder, 1/4tsp turmeric and 1/2 cup raisins. Stuck it in fridge for a few hours and had it with warmed Naan bread.
Made as written, this is mild enough for my 3 year old grandson but flavorful enough for the grownups. If I was to make a change, I think it needs a little brighter colors like some chopped red pepper.
Loved this recipe and will be making it for lots of work lunches. I also used less honey but I substituted honey roasted almonds for the plain almonds. Added a nice boost of flavor without being too sweet. Otherwise, stayed with the recipe and was very happy.
Good base recipe. I thought 1 tsp honey was plenty and upped the curry powder to a tablespoon.
This recipe was great! Fast and simple for a good weeknight meal, and tasted great as leftovers, too. My boys liked it, and asked to have more, which is always a win.
