  Made this with half the quantity of chilli so that my young children wouldn't complain that its ' too spicy' ! It went down a treat and it was so mild I'd probably add the whole amount next time.

  Easy to make and the chillies do not make it hot at all, just tasty. A very good base recipe, you can add other stuff and make other yummy simple curries, try some ground almonds or sweet potato or squash.

  Could you bring the fat content of this curry down by using low fat yoghurt or creme fraische ?

  Absolutely gorgeous! I'm not a fan of hot curries but used the full amount of chilli - not hot at all, just lovely flavours. Almost Thai-ish with the lime. Will definitely use again.

  Simple, and really delicious. I was slightly sceptical about this recipe as it was so quick to prepare, but I was very pleasantly surprised. This will become a regular in our house.

  This is absolutely yummy! Doesn't take long at all to produce this restaurant-quality curry. Suprisingly flavoursome. I'd definitely cook it again. James Martin isn't just a pretty face.

  Made this for my hubbie and his friends. A big hit. It was flavoursome rather than hot, although I added a bit more chilli powder to give it a kick. Absolutely delicious - would recommend.

  Made this for family visiting and it went down very well. Wasn't difficult to make altho I might add another chilli just to give it a bit more bite. Definitely make it again.

  Great recipe - 'proper' curry taste without any hassle, so much nicer than out of a jar! Used dried chilli flakes, missed out the ginger and forgot to buy double cream so used half fat creme fraiche - worked really well. Will be making again!
