I made the microwave curry a week or two ago.

It turned out all right.

The potatoes took a long time to cook compared to the chicken, next time I'll put them in at the same time or even before I think.

I think when I make it again I'll add some peas, the dish needed a little color and adding a vegetable would make it a little more well rounded and it was an awfully yellow white looking meal (rice as well). You eat with your eyes first so the bit of color could help.

Was a little bland, think I'll punch up the spice a bit more (I did add some extra ginger garlic and curry but I think even more would be better).

I'll try this recipe in the next week or two. The curry was good enough to pique my interest in microwave cuisine. Hope you keep posting recipes.

I was surprised they added the chicken before the potatoes too. Generally, a pound of potatoes will cook in about eight minutes with 950 watts, while a pound of (boned) chicken takes about five minutes with 650 watts. So, that might have been a misprint, and the chicken and potatoes got switched for each other. But, hey, the recipe came from the CIA, so I figured it was worth sharing.

It was good.

I'd say the garlic was a little heavy and if I make it again I'll add some black olives I think.
