  In one hour all the ingredients were absolutely uncooked. Will hardly make it again.

  Delicious, will definitely make this again. So easy, so tasty & so healthy. Made today for vegetarian friends - they loved it - for meat / fish eater will follow previous recommendation of adding prawns while roasting vegetables � may also consider using chicken.

  It was OK, but nothing to get excited about, just curry flavoured rice. I prefer a curry with a bit more sauce to it and this was very dry. Shame, as it had potential :(

  A lovely tasty biryani, although quite time consuming to make and a little on the dry side.

  Fab recipe! Turned out really well for me. Light and fluffy. Although I did not have any curry paste and just used curry powder instead and also added a few cloves of garlic. I think that to work well this recipe really needs to be made with white basmati rice. If I was cooking it with brown, then I would probably double the time in the oven and upped the liquid content. Will now make it with different veg.

  I have a suggestion, however - cook the onions a bit first and then put the vegetables in together with the rice. Don't cook them for 15 minutes before adding the rice as this leaves them overcooked. Esp. when it come so cauliflower.

  Just made this for lunch with a couple of changes (regular potato not sweet and an extra parsnip that was lying around). The flavour was good as is the idea of an easy biryani but like a few others my rice (and potato) didn't cook in 30 minutes. Might be because of the size of my pan - had to use my le crueset which it filled! We'll be eating it all week by the looks of it. Next time will make half or even a third and see if that improves the cooking time.

  Really tasty and easy to do. No basmati so used brown rice which took longer to cook and needed a bit more stock. Very filling - half the recipe did two generous portions plus another to go in the freezer.

  This was a great success. It would have been even better if it had been accompianed by a vegetable sauce.

  I also had the problem that the rice took forever to cook. The veg had turned to complete mush by the time it was done. But it still tasted good!

  Delicious! A favourite with friends and the Fiance! I'm going to make it again tonight, but substitute sweet potato for normal, and also add chicken.
