  I was very disappointed with this, especially after reading all the positive comments. The chicken smelled delicious as it cooked in the spices, but by the end after adding all the cream, all I could taste was the cream. Perhaps I did not add enough of the spices. May be better with creme fraiche, perhaps (and not so much of it).

  Made a few changes to this based on the reviews and my own experience. Added the chilli to the marinade rather than the onions; used 2 onions very thinly sliced and sweated them for about 20 minutes with the turmeric, a bit of cumin and ground coriander; and added the cream bit by bit, tasting as I went to make sure it wasn't overpowering - I only ended up using about half the carton in the end. Even then, it was a bit too creamy for my taste although my other half loved it, so will try it again using yoghurt next time.

  Have made this twice now and although it was lovely, this time I found it quite bland. However this time I forgot to add the lime juice so maybe it had something to do with that?? Whatever the reason, I may try adding extra chilli powder next time to see if that makes a difference.

  This is a lovely meal for any time. Tried it as per recipe but not enough kick, so now I dont de seed the chilli and I add a tikka paste to the marinade (made myself from an indian cook book I have) this gives the chicken a lovely flavour!!! prob the best dish I've eaten from this site...mmmmmmmmmm del!!!!

  Left out some of the cream and replaced it with coconut cream. Excellent. Almost five stars.

  This was far too creamy for my liking, so much so that it overpowered any flavour. It seemed like a ridiculous amount of cream, really it needed half that amount. It seemed so much that for a second I panicked and thought I had read the recipe wrong! Ended up spooning out alot of the cream and adding more spice! Also added more lemon juice. I did like the marinade though, up until I added the cream it all smelled and looked delicious. Next time I think I'l add more fresh chillies and maybe some natural yoghurt (but nowhere near the amount this recipe suggests!!).
