I tried this recipe on a fluke and my family loved it. I rarely (liike never follow a recipe exactly and not to be out of form, I didn't add the coconut. and like so many the others I found the lack of curry powder in the "mesa grill curry powder" disturbing so I added some. I now make up my own bottle of Mesa Grill Curry Mix and keep it on hand. We like spicy so this dish was perfect. Bobby is the bomb. If this recipe was the loser in the throw down I'd love to taste the winner. Cuz this is FABULOUS No where near as complicated as it looks.

Made this dish after watching Bobby do a "Throwdown Challenge", so I thought I make my sister and cousin my tasters. We love it!!!!! Now since my family has decided to rotate family dinner. I will be making this one again for the whole family. This recipe is sooo good.

I have been making curried dishes for many years and this recipe of chef Flay's is really superb. The amount of information is a little daunting but the result is beautiful and delicious. I did use some grated fresh ginger and red pepper flakes instead of the cerrano pepper which I did not have.

This is a great recipe, a big hit with the entire family. I make the rice by itself to accompany other dishes because it is so delicious!

We loved the range of spices and the wonderful final blend. The rice was the best I have had in ages. Finally, I had lots of fun making this truly delicious dish!

Maybe it was the type of rice I used (parboiled, e.g., Uncle Ben's, but I needed around 2-2 1/2 C. water for the 2 C. rice and about 50 min. cooking time, although I would think that, if anything, parboiled rice would need less liquid & time than regular rice. I'm surprised no one else noticed these things. Was it just me? All in all, loved the rice the way I prepared it, which included halving the number of scallions.

Other than that, it was delicious. My Country Captain was a little soupy, but maybe that's because I used vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.

Bobby was right. If someone doesn't like curry, they will love this dish. My husband would not eat anything 'curried,' however, he really enjoyed this recipe. I did not make my own curry, like Bobby did, and just used red curry from the spice rack. Really no need to use the coconut milk with the rice either, because the sauce over the chicken is so delicious, that you don't taste the coconut, unless you eat the rice separately. This truely is a keeper. The first time I made it, I served it to company (always a risk, but they loved it, too! (And they know their food!

I had never even heard of this dish until seeing it on the show. It takes longer than what the recipe says (all told, it took me 3 hours, but it's sooooo worth it. Very tasty and complex in flavor. I'm adding it to my own food rotation.
