I personally don’t like the taste but I’ve never had curry before. The smell caught me off guard. It’s like when you imagine eating something but it isn’t how you imagined. I thought curry would be a little sweet and rich but I was very wrong! I can’t get past the smell. Maybe it’s supposed to smell like that but it’s not my cup of tea. I love love LOVE the rice. I may just buy the rice separately. Tasty and convenient
