  very easy to make when you're in a hurry or too busy to cook, much tastier when you use whole spices, rather than curry paste. Works well the next day as a lunchbox meal.

  Cooking this now and I've added twice as much water and plenty more time - I don't know of any rice that cooks in 15 minutes. The packet of basmati I used stated 23 minute coooking time, but I'm at 40 minutes so far and it's still not done. Tastes lovely though and looking forward to eating it when it's ready

  Really easy and tasty, but in what world does 250g of rice feed FOUR people (as a main meal)??

  This was a big hit in our house, even my 3 year old daughter loved it! I used korma paste to keep it mild, though probably added more like 3tbsp. As I failed to read the recipe properly I also forgot to defrost the spinach - I just added it frozen and it worked just fine. I also had to add extra water as the stock quantity wasn't enough to cook the rice. Definitely one I'll be making again and the leftovers were apparently delicious cold - husband took them for his lunch the next day.

  Shoved everything in the rice cooker, added a bit of chicken and a few more veg and turned out lovely.

  Just cooked this and it's really tasty. Very quick and easy to make and the chickpeas and rice make it extremely filling. I had it as main course with a slice of fresh home-made wheaten bread. Very tasty!

  Tasty! Just used four pieces of frozen spinach, which did the trick nicely!

  Second time I've made this, so much nicer than plain rice and so easy to do.

  Absolutely delicious, this recipe has become a favourite in our household especially on those evening where time is ticking on! We made it with the Madras and it was perfect temperature wise - even for the other half who doesn't like things too hot. Be warned though, it's very morish!

  Lovely rice, used fresh spinach instead which worked just as well, also left out the nuts as my son is allergi to them, still tasted fantastic. I served this with enchiladas and went down a treat with the whole family.

  Just made this, it's delicious! I used brown basmati (for health reasons) and it req another 200ml water and an extra 20mins on a very low heat. Also added mushrooms as suggested by another rater here. This is so easy, healthy and filling. Recipe lends itself to infinite variations and I'm up for experimenting. This will be a regular on my menu!

  Super tasty quick meal when you've no idea what to cook! i serve with a dollop of chutney and some naan bread on the side. Today I only have pitta instead and no spinach so it will be a bit different but still yum :)

  Fantastic recipe that I use all the time, except sometimes I don't bother with the spinach, chickpeas, cashew nuts or even the yoghurt! I always add raisins though, they really make the dish. I usually put leftover roast chicken strips in mine to use up the chicken and it is a family favourite and the smell always attracts compliments!

  Would give this recipe a million stars if i could! Absolutely amazing. Loved by all of the family.. However i would recommend adding another 50-100mls of vegetable stock as the rice never quite cooks enough if you don't, and i tend to add more raisins(and sultanas) than it suggests as they completely make the dish! One of my favs- EVER. AND SO QUICK AND EASY!!!
