I omitted the chili powder, cumin, and used only one teaspoon of curry powder as my family does not enjoy excessive spices. The meal turned out quite edible, and was even more exceptional with lentils.

Delicious! It was a bit spicy to give to my 2-yr old, but other than that, it was great! Made it again with half the curry and cumin and it was still delicious, just less spicy.

I made this as written and it tasted great. I did add some onions and grated carrots to the garlic in the beginning. Next time I will add even more vegetables, but the spices and amounts are just right. It has kick and flavour, but is not overwhelming.

Very blah. Did not care for it and recipe does not call for near enough water.

This was quite good. My low rating reflects a couple of things. First, as others have pointed out, the amount of water in the recipe is insufficient. Rice is almost always 2:1 ratio of water to rice. Unless you like your rice al dente (and no one does), double the water. This is a heavily seasoned dish--I like hot food, but this would be too much for most people. It's hard to season "to taste" when the seasoning goes in before the rice, so this is just a word of caution. Finally, a not a big deal, this needs some salt. Both the bouillon and the soy add salt, and this can be done to taste at the end.

I used brown rice instead and it took A LOT longer. I did not realize this but that was my fault. This recipe does require more water even if you are using white rice, because you need twice the amount of water to rice. I also used a chicken bouillon cube instead. Overall it was good, I added more curry too :).

I'm going to add corn and green peas and maybe diced carrot when I make it, this sounds delicious! I can't find any boullion cubes in the grocery store though, and I don't ever really like the flavor of vegetable broth that can be bought in those cans so I'm still looking for an alternative plan since I can't use chicken (I'm vegetarian) Any suggestions?

I took the suggestions to use teaspoons of the spices. As I cooked I wasn't sure how it would turn out. Once I added the rice it came together. I had to cook the rice a little longer plus add water. My hubby and I enjoyed it. I'll try it full strength next time.
