  A bit too creamy for me think creme fraiche would be nicer. !

  We found it very bland, I made it exactly as the recipe says. It didn't taste like a masala at all, more like a very mild korma. It wasn't awful but it needed more 'something', maybe it would be better as a base for another curry.

  I just made this and found it far too creamy and bland, I could not taste any of the spices I put in probably because the cream overpowered it. I was disappointed in this, not least because the recipe on this site for chicken tikka masala is so good.

  This curry is a favourite staple for my family we first made it in 2004, my son and daughter both used it when at university and I recently passed it on to my son's partner and my mother who is 77 and she made it for the first time this week, I personally prefer more hot chilli powder, extra ginger and red chilli with seeds left in for a hotter curry, I have also used half fat cream to cut down on the calories but everyone else prefers the mild version. I tried it using creme fraise but it was not successful. But this is one to try

  I'm sorry to say I was disappointed by this curry - all 4 of us in my house found it bland and not one of us cleared our plate (which is unusual for us!) I followed the recipe to a t, too..... oh well, never mind, I enjoyed making it at least!

  We liked this, and thought it was a nice simple supper. It was quite creamy so I will be making it again using someof the 0% fat greek Yoghurt, for a midweek supper. The creaminess was nice for a one off bit of luxury. The leftovers were also good the day after with some salad and crusty bread

  Had a really gorgeous flavour although I didn't add the chilli but I don't think it really needed it.

  Loved the taste but after reading the comments on here I used a whole chilli and it blew our heads off!! I'm used to hot curries - used to have a reputation for eating vindaloo and I definately think this was madras hot verging on hotter - maybe it ws because I marinaded the chicken for a few hours??

  A popular dish. My husband thoroughly enjoyed and wants me to do again.I found it lacked 'Zing' - I will add more chilli next time. My hubbie (who loves hot and spicey apparently) loved it! Aparet from using extra chilli I will also use half fat creme fraiche to cut down on the fat content. Any one else tried this?

  Quite nice flavours and I did double up on the garlic, ginger and chilli as I read other people's comments on the blandness of this dish. It was just too creamy for us. Used single cream but bit sickly. Wouldn't make again.

  First recipe on this site that didn't work for us. Couldn't even bring ourselves to boil the rice or heat up the naans. Really disappointed - too much citrus & no oomph. Not sure what went wrong, but not put off James!
