  Delicious & easy! Excellent recipe that lives up to the taste team comments. Easy to add some shredded roast chicken or lamb for a more substantial meal.

  This tasted so authentic and smelt beautiful. It was so nice that my husband didn't mind that it was vegetarian!

  Not only is this delicious when fresh but it reheats perfectly from the fridge or the freezer.

  Fantastic, delicious. Even with the recipe halved i had loads left over and so gave it to the inlaws next day for an informal lunch...everyone raved about it. Simple, lovely and will be making again. Kind of like the fact that it would be easy to alter according to what veggies you have available. I added Quorn too, to make a slightly more substantial main dish.

  I made this for the first time for a dinner party & it turned out beautifully. I added king prawns when I was roasting the veg & it turned out great. I also made the raita recipe attached & it was delicious too. Will definitely make again & would strongly recommend.

  Funny everyone else seems to have loved this. But I just could not get it to cook. No matter how hot I got it the rice just stayed uncooked. I assume its meant to steam under the tinfoil but either the tinfoil kept the heat out or something. We ended up eating supper about an hour late which was a pain. It eventually tasted ok but nothing special just rice with curry flavour. Would not attempt again a right pain.

  Made this for my flatmates the other day, im not bad in the kitchen but this was more work than I though it was going to be, it took a bit longer cooking time and had to add the last bit of stock in stages, I think that was due to the bowl I was using though. But when it was done it was amazing, it went down well with the whole house and litrally fed all 5 of us, I served it with popadoms and dip and naan bread.
