  Delicious recipe! I left the almonds out and used pataks madras curry paste which gave it a lovely flavour, it had a slight kick but not too much heat. Will definately make this dish again as it uses basic ingredients that I usually have in the cupboard (so cheap to make too which is always a bonus), but next time i'll serve it as a side dish with chicken, yum yum!

  Absolutely delicious and so easy AND healthy! I think warm it would make a great side dish to a tomato based curry however I also love it on its own as a vegetarian dish. Additionally I think its scrummy cold the next day for lunch (but not straight from the fridge of course!)

  This is simple and very tasty! It was great for getting that lovely indian flavour without the fat and calories of a takeaway meal. I left out the almonds as I am allergic to nuts but I doubt that it really took anything away from the dish. I am going to try this as a side dish with chicken next as suggested.

  Really easy and tasty. I didn't have any curry paste so just flung in a few spices - it worked really well.

  I made this today without almonds, lovely! and when you leave the almonds and rice out it's very low in calories. :)
