  We love curries, and all the family (inclusive of young children) enjoyed this recipe. I did marinate the meat for longer, & like most curries, it will probably taste even better the next day! Enjoy

  Wow- what a delicious curry! It was perfect for the whole family, and was very flavoursome and spicy- and so healthy too! It was easy to make, although took me longer than the recipe said but was so worth the effort. I thoroughly recommend this to everyone!

  Absolutely delicious. Sliced the green chilli before adding, and used mild chilli powder instead of paprika, for added flavour as well as colour. Made for a spicier curry, that even my 8 yr old who is new to spicy food really enjoyed. Will definately make this again. Better than a take away.

  This is an excellent curry. I used 500ml of passata and increased the spices by about a third to make it a little hotter. Best made the day before.

  This was okay but not memorable. The spiced chicken balti recipe on this site is better in my opinion. Be careful when frying the whole chilli - mine exploded. May be a good idea to slice a small split into it before putting it into the pan.

  I agree with Frantic Flapjack "okay but not memorable!" A lot of spice but not much flavour was my experience. I only marinated the chicken for 30mins which is probably not enough I know!

  Very tasty, but found that chicken was a little dry by the end. Will use chicken thighs next time - cheaper and more flavour!

  We love spicy curries so as this was partway through cooking I knew I would need to add some further ingredients. we sliced our chilli and added an extra half red chilli.Then at the end added fair bit of Natco curry powder.So if you order chicken balti at a restaurant or takeaway and love that....following our tips will get you the same. However fresher, less fat and so so much tastier.Plus you made it yourself.

  This was really tasty. I put more green chillis in and added two tablespoons of creme fraiche and a chicken stock cube to give this just a bit more oomph.

  Really delicious recipe and pretty straight forward as long as you have all the spices. I added a chopped whole green chilli and adapted the recipe to feed 6 people. I made it the day before serving so all the flavors developed and used boneless chicken thighs. Will definitely be making this again.
