  Was very nice, but did make a few changes: didn't make the rice, just used a posh bag of mixed brown and white basmati. Also added some green pepper as it was knocking around in the fridge - if you like them I would recommend the addition. Oh, and also didn't sprinkle curry powder over the veg - mixed it all into the yoghurt.... but that was because I didn't read the recipe properly. Doh. The chicken and veg were even nicer next day enclosed in a wrap with a smear of mayo for lunch. Bliss.

  Sounds very interesting. Might try it tonight with plain basmati.

  Was nice and very easy to make. I did make the rice, but didn't sprinkle the veg with curry powder. I like the sound of leftovers in a wrap as Four Candles suggests above.

  I followed the recipe to the last word and we were all disappointed, I'm afraid it went in the bin, it was tasteless and very certainly lacked something, I make an alternative to this using more spices and extra marinating, I'll stick to what I know on this one!

  So tasty added peppers to the veg to make it a little more filling and to allow enough for leftovers for lunch in a wrap the next day. The rice is very tasty with the crunch of the almond adding a great texture. Second time making this last night going to become a regular meal for us.

  Can't recommend this highly enough. I've made the chicken twice now and it's easily adaptable to what you have in the fridge Eg - I forgot to buy yoghurt and just added a few squirts of tomoato puri and a spoonful of balti paste - really yummy! Also made once following recipe (with yghurt) and think I preferred the modified version. I've not made the rice which goes with it, just used plain rice and green beans.
