  I halved the ingredients to make for 2 people and there was enough for three. I found a bit too spicy using rogan josh curry paste so next time will add less chilli. Also cooked as instructed but in a le cresuet casserole dish (had no foil). I had to add a little more hot water and cook for a further 10mins but it was delicious.

  We were missing quite a few of the ingredients (green beans, saffron, mustard seeds, red chilli....!) but it turned out quite nicely. Would be very nice if we had all the ingredients in. The lemon and coriander sprinkled over at the end gave a lovely flavour. Will definetely try this again. We also had no problems with the rice - it was perfectly cooked.

  I have made this so many times now and it turns out lovely everytime. I normally stick to the recipe, sometimes change the vegetables depending what I have in. So many people have asked for the recipe and my partner will only have this and will not go for an Indian take away any more.

  Spent quite a bit longer on cooking this dish but the rice was still only half cooked. Very frustrated. Followed the recipe word by word which also means there are enough for another 3 dinners while there are only two of us! The flavour was good but don't think I'd attempt to have another go very soon.

  Brilliant recipe, very tasty indeed. I substituted one of the sweet potatoes with half a butternut squash and it was wonderful. My meat-loving other half even raved about how good it was.

  I think the amount of rice stated in this recipe is far too much. It meant you couldn't really taste the cauliflower and sweet potato. Everything else would probably need adjusting but I think it may be worth experimenting with. We had 3 portions and I must have 8 large portions left.

  DO NOT MAKE THIS WITH BROWN/WHOLGRAIN RICE I have found out tonite that my brown rice (I just like it!) does not cook in the oven - I thoughtI could just cook the rice for a bit longer but no - I have had to seperate the dish and cook the rice on the stove. Then mix back together - I am so starving now......

  Try any veg you like, I used green pepper, mushroom, carrot, potato, sweet potato, onion. Frozen peas added for last 5 mins. Didn't have coriander or cashews, still delicious. Will try again as suggested soon. Made 1/2 quantity but enough for at least 4.

  I made this recipe last week. It turned out lovely and was easy to put together. It keeps well too as we've been nibbling on it all week.
