Only rating this high as mine tasted great. But only cos I added lots of extra things to give it flavour. Added creme frais and corgettes and a squirt of honey and also some chilli flakes. Also some tomato puree and alot more tinned tomatoes. Cooked it for an hour on simmer and used cut up chicken thighs.

This was awful! I followed the recipe exactly and it was tasteless and watery. A trip to the local curry house was necessary for us to eat!

I tried this recipe as we love curry, but watching what we eat now and this is low in fat, we really enjoyed it, but next time i will add more chilli, and replace potatoe for butternut squash, and will let you know how it goes

Really enjoyed this and easy to make, didn't think it was bland at all, did use chopped tomatoes with chilli to give it a extra kick

I cooked this last night & have to agree with others that it is very bland. I took their advice and added more garam masala, sugar & lemon juice but still not happy with the over all taste. Quite disappointed

I enjoyed this curry but I can understand how some people found it was a little bland. We added chopped red chilli to ours (as my husband is chilli obsessed) and it gave it the kick it was lacking. I love the fact it's low in calories so would definitely make it again when I’m watching my figure.

I tried this recipe for the first time and found it simple to make, however it was a little bland and so we added 1 birds eye chilli to it and it was much better

This is the first time I have made a curry from scratch and my hubby and I loved it. The only thing I changed was adding a full can of chopped tomatoes. Easy to make and very tasty. I will certainly be making this one again.

today is my second time of making this curry. i like it because its low in fat. i add peas to add a bit of colour & veg. i have to say that the cooking times are laughable because if you only did it for the time they say you would be eating raw potatoes. with this in mind add a full 400g tin of tomatoes & extra water and just simmered it away. i didnt serve it wityh rice as the potatoes are enough carbs for me thanks :) the boyf enjoyed it with naan bread (as hes a skinny minny!). Its not a fave but its ok.

Very nice meal and easy to make - my wife and I both enjoyed the mild flavours. As neither of us like our curries too hot I used mild chilli powder and put in extra tomatoes, and cooked it longer to make sure that the chicken and potatoes were tender enough. Perhaps the addition of red peppers would liven it up as suggested in some of the other comments. Anyway, I'll certainly make it again.

I par boiled the potato first & grated the garlic, ginger & onion. I also added extra garam masala & swartze? mild chilli powder as the dish was bland to my taste.
I also added double the amount of tomatoes & a long red pepper & threw in some cherry tomatoes near to the end of cooking.
Good dish with a few changes.
