    Soooo easy! I left out the spinach as supermarket was out but it was yummy still. Only complaint is that mine was slightly watery.. A 'splash' of water was far less than I anticipated then!

    First time cooking a curry from scratch- very nice indeed! Only had curry powder, and used tinned tomatoes so it was more saucy, and added a chilli in for me and my partner to give it more of a kick! Oh and I used lamb which worked very well! Will be making again that's for sure.

    Used jalfrezi curry paste and really tasty with little fuss. Mind only to put a little water in as the tomatoes have plenty of juice.

    Really enjoyed this, was a little worried about the thighs and thought about using breast instead although worked really well and very tasty. Will be making this one again, even my fussy 12 year old loved it!

    Amazingly quick and tasty. Added green beans and served with lentils instead of rice to make it even healthier..

    Really easy! First curry I have ever made and my hubby said it was the best home-made curry he had ever eaten! Instead of the curry paste, I used some tomato puree, a little water and a couple of teaspoons of good quality curry powder (Cumin, Coriander, Onion, Fenugreek, Turmeric, Garlic, Ginger, Yellow Mustard, Black Pepper, Chilli, Cinnamon, Cardamon, Cloves.) Next time I will try adding some chillies as we like hot food. This is a great starter / base recipe to give you confidence cooking a curry and then modify the ingredients to taste.

    Well, I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I found it to be very watery and acidic from the tomato's. Had to add a little sugar. Not really enjoyable. I expect I went wrong somewhere!

    THis was Very tasty, considering how quick & easy it was. I used tin tomatoes with olive oil & garlic, and coconut milk instead of yoghurt. I'm using up my store cupboard bits as we are moving country soon! My family cleared their plates.
