Did not like this at all. Spices were way off. I thought it was odd that cumin was not on ingredient list but I thought I would try it anyway since all of the reviews were so favorable. The meat had a mushy odd consistency too. I suppose that is why I never use ground beef in the slow cooker. Even if you were to reduce the cooking and preserve some of the texture of the meat, the flavor was still off. I added a lot of cumin and more chili powder and cooked it down for a while just to make it palatable for dinner, but would not make it again.

This was very bland. I added some salt and spices and that did not help. Tasted a bit like oatmeal with fruit. It might be good as a sweet dish adding more honey and no onions but there are other recipes that are better.

This was great and authentic tasting. I doubled the lemongrass and used powdered galangal since I could not find fresh. I may have added too many vegetable chunks so next time I will reduce so there is more delicious soup. Really great and spicy. Make sure you have some tissues handy.
