  Instead of putting this in the oven I left it on the hob and it tasted great. Good way of perking up rice

  I tried this at the weekend, I didnt have any curry powder so I used a tsp each of chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala and cumin, which gave it a bit of a kick. It went down a treat and friends asked for the recipe.

  This was really yummy, and a good way of making rice into a meal. Good one for when the cupboards are bare!

  Made this for hubbys birthday. Added some chilli flakes and cooked it on the hob. Tasted really spicy and went down a treat with all the family. Very easy to make.

  The flavour of this dish was quite nice but for some reason the rice was still a little hard after 20 minutes in the oven (must have been something I did wrong as no one else seems to have had this problem). I will try making it again but next time I�ll cook it on the hob instead and see how it turns out. A good recipe to have for when the cupboards are looking a little bare.

  Thoroughly unimpressed with this recipe. I ended up doubling the curry powder as I felt it was a bit blah, and I needed much more water than the recipe stated - and even then the rice was a bit too much on the crunchy side for me. I won't be making this again. I much prefer the spinach, mushroom and lemon pilaf on here!

  I made this for 20 people, and used the hob method. I agree that i had to use more liquid than stated. However, it was delicious

  This is fab. A great dish. Very generous amount. It's just me, so there was a lot of it.

  This is a tasty cheap meal, and it is easy to vary the vegetables: mushrooms, diced pepper, diced carrots. I like to use boiled eggs, quartered, arranged over the top to satisfy vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
