So easy, so delicious, and so authentic - 27 Jul 2014
he lime juice over powered the dish. The red chili was optional and I didn't have any on hand so I used chili flakes instead. If you cut back on the lime I think this would be delicious but as written it was just okay. - 25 Jan 2016 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
