  This is a great friday night effort free meal. I added peanuts instead of the almonds to give a real change in texture.

  This is really easy to make and so tasty! We love it...and the kids do too - not bad for a 3 year old and an 18 month old!

  great recipe! we halved the chicken and added various veg to make it more of a one pot meal (we used mushrooms, peppers and courgette). It was lovely.

  Superb, even without the raisins, which my wife hates, and the coriander, which we forgot to buy (oops) Served with a basic curry sauce, also on here somewhere, this was an excellent mid-week meal which could easily have made it to "week-end treat" category.

  This is really great. Used half of all ingredients and substituted Madras paste, didn't have any Balti. Also no coriander, I hate the stuff. Will definitely make again.

  Excellent recipe! living in France sometimes I don't have all the ingredients to hand. However, i cooked this at lunchtime (you know 2 hour lunches and all that!) but had to make my own curry paste. Can't wait to try this one again - Cooking Mary's Spiced chicken with rice & crisp red onions tomorrow
