  Made this last night. Definitely going onto the family repertoire. Doesn't turmeric make a mess of everything within three feet of the cooker? Well it does if I'm doing the cooking, according to Mrs Pieman!

  This was yummy but I found the turmeric tasted too strong (could be something to do with being pregnant!). Next time I would increase the garam masala and decrease the turmeric. Children really enjoyed it.

  Chicken was lovely, maybe the olives would have been better chopped into small slices as they were a bit over-powering whole.

  Most amazing dinner I have had! x Really lovely tender chicken and the olives made it oh so much yummier. To add more flavours, put in some green beans or chic peas ((like my mum and god-mother did)) x

  Very good - clean plates. Added some sun dried tomatoes and a few green beans at the end, and kept some of the cooking liquid as a sauce. One to keep!

  Thanks once again Barney it was so surprisingly delicious- well it wasn't surprising really, since all your recipes are a such great success in our house - I didn't use the zest but did add a preserved lemon - I also added a few tablespoons of the olive( w anchovy) brine to the stock. threw in a handful of apricots but the dish didn't really need them - just simply delicious made as per instructions above. When can we expect a cookbook from you?

  Absolutely loved it! Whole family enjoyed it and was up to my standards :). I made a few amendments, as I never had any 'Turmeric Powder' or 'Garam Masala', I added salt, pepper and paprika to the chicken, which gave it a very nice taste to it it!

  Didn't add the lemon, threw in a few mushrooms, but generally followed the recipe as closely as I could, absolutely delicious! :)
