  This was ok. The flavour was quite nice but the chicken was dry. Perhaps I did something wrong but it wasn't a huge success.

  This smelled incredible while cooking, we followed the directions faithfully, but in the end we were very disappointed as the taste was not very interesting.

  Really bland and uninteresting, natural yogurt seemed to split as well, would definately not make again.

  Unfortunately, this was a bit of a let down. The colour looked fantastic but it lacked any depth of flavour even with the ingrediants used. There was no seasoning in the dish so I added a little salt but this didn't make much difference. My other half thought it was ok and its a cheap dinner to make but I don't think I'd make this one again.

  Turned into a very nice curry after the initial woory of putting in the yogurt when it neither looked or smelled good, but keep faith! Unusual to have the peppers in, but they worked. Changes for next time - dry fry the cumin first, then grind it as I didn't like the texture of the seeds, also added extra tom puree to help improve the colour.

  This curry was really nice, but I think there were too many tomatoes in it. They really took away the flavour and made it too watery. Otherwise it was good.

  Made this today- read through the mainly positive reviews and thought the negative ones about the curry being bland were obviously people used to hot curries..Wrong! Was really disappointed- followed the recipe to the letter used 3 chillies approx half seed in half seed out, made this in the morning and left all day for flavours to infuse but before reheating tonight still no real heat coming through, added extra spices but made no difference. Even added extra cumin and still couldn't detect much cumin flavour. Also the natural yoghurt split giving it a 'curdled' look and texture although this didn't affect the taste. Wouldn't recommed and probably won't make again.

  Ive made this a couple of times now and we love it. I said in an earlier commment about using breast. Well the second time i used thigh and it was much much better. I'm making this on friday eve and will reheat it in the oven on Saturday night. There are only the two of us so i will use 6 thighs, and the same amount of everything else. We also have lots of spinach growing (although its taken a bit of a battering due to the really cold weather we are having), so like milliana_13 i will add some spinach toward the end. And as im only using 6 thighs instead of 12 it will be saucy enough to be able to take on the spinach.

  The aroma when cooking had me and the family salivating but I was a bit disappointed with the end result although I followed the recipe to the letter (twice). The lovely fragrant spices just didn't convert to taste and I think maybe the yoghurt contibuted to the 'blandness'. Family liked it better first time round. May try it once more, but then again....

  I made this yesterday for todays tea after reading all reviews. Was a bit worried about the 'bland' reviews, but I'm glad i ignored them as it was delicious. I used chicken breasts, and ground up half a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes as didn't have fresh chillies. To avoid any curdling i just mixed a table spoon of yogurt to the tomato puree and added that to the pan with the water and cooked for half an hour. I also crumbled in a chicken stock cube in before simmering. I probably used 3 tablespoons of tom puree. When re-heating the curry today i added the rest of the yogurt, which worked fine and didn't curdle at all. I added a tablespoon of sugar, as thought it may enhance the flavours. The fresh coriander finished it off nicely. Will def make again. Give it a try, it is very easy and quite quick.

  This is very similar to a recipe of mine, except I would use coconut milk instead of yoghurt.

  Tripled this recipie to feed 15 adults, very tasty and so convenient that you can make ahead of time. Lovely spices and good mix with the ginger, garlic and chillies. Very yummy and will be making again.
