Caribbean Pineapple Curry - All I had was rum extract and I used the whole bottle. It was a bit too much. Next time I will do without the rum and maybe double the curry, garlic and rice. Easily feeds two
The Indian Red Curry was a great warm up after a December day on the trail in Virginia. The cold rain held off till off the trail, but poured buckets from the time the stove got fired up till morning. The curry was a big hit with my companions. Easy to prep with enough heat for those who like spice but not too much for those who don't like the burn.
