I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt to the sauce.
