Toddler review-
The first time around Thing 1 and Thing 2 loved it. Second time around everyone picked out the bacon and ate some of the rice. They weren't fans of the curry sauce. Oh well, we'll just try again.

2020 update-
We used canned coconut since we had been given some from a friend. It ended up way too thick and I diluted with some chicken stock and half and half. It was ok, the kids ate it and the leftovers the next day but it didn't have the same flavor. We'll go back to making our own coconut milk.
