Make your own curry; then you control the ingredients. Because 842 mg sodium does NOT sound healthy in my book...

My husband and I loved this dish. I used one box of cous cous and halved the tomato portion. I added a dash of curry powder and since I did not have raisins I used dried cranberry. Very good!

Enjoyed by all! Made this for a potluck supper; however I didn't use the tomatoes with jalopenas...just with garlic and onion. I doubled the recipe which was way too much for 22 people. It made a great presentation with a separate compartmentalized dish with the almonds, cilantro and raisins. I'll do it again!
