I used cardamon-seed insides instead of ground cardamon, and more than recommended, and I think it overwhelmed the pineapple-flavor, but parents disagreed. Cardamon is very interesting and fragrant and delicious. I also added some pineapple chunks from the can the juice came out of, and I think that was a welcome addition. Anyway, good good and not difficult at all. Made it again at Mom’s request, Dad liked it quite a bit.

“Kissed by honey, blessed with flavor, and loaded with antioxidants- beta carotene and vitamin C- this dish fosters good health and good eating.”

I got a little bit carried away with the frosting and piped edges and curly letters and big hearts and then dotted it all over with whole rasberries and individual seeds.

Somehow, the ratio of meat to vegetables still turned out quite acceptable. And I found that only a handful of cashews was necessary, not 1 full cup as is indicated in the original recipe. "

i usually eat this as a “soup”, but you can also put it over rice, or just use the cooked sweet potatoes as a side dish (saving the coconut milk/curry combo to cook rice in, or cook another curry).
