  This is one of our regulars and it's always a winner - I've used chicken breasts instead of thighs and it's also very nice.

  Sitting here thinking about dinner and what to make that all three children will like tonight after school activities. Wanted something really tasty, easy and quick. Have made this before, kids loved it and even gave me time to do 30 mins of exercise while it was cooking in the oven. Great!

  This was so easy and absolutely delicious. I too added a handful of sultanas. The chicken thighs were so tender. Chicken breasts not as tasty and succulent. A favourite recipe now.

  This is a firm favourite in our house. Rather than using curry powder, I use 2tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprike and 1 tbsp chilli powder. Gives it a really delicious deep flavour without being too spicy.

  I used NiniB's suggestion of changing the spices slightly- I added cumin, paprika, and a bit of curry powder, which produced a lovely breadth of flavour. I fell down slightly in that I tried to make the recipe to serve one as opposed to 6 and my rice ended up a bit undercooked, but all in all it was very tasty!

  Contradiction: biryani and pilau are 2 different dishes. Unsure why this dish has got this title. Ingrediants are nothing like the authentic dish. Might taste nicew but its not the proper stuff I'm afraid.

  This is a gorgeous family meal, especially suitable for colder, winter evenings. Goes very well with baked root vegetables on a side.
