  Absolutely delicious. So very easy. I made it using Madras paste which I reasoned would be hotter so only used 3 heaped teaspoons and it was still a bit hot for my son... but he ate it all! Will definately make this again. Will make a good dinner party dish as it's all done in 1 pot.

  This was such a simple tasty recipe. Great mid week as so quick. I used madras paste which I reasoned would be hotter so only used 3 heaped teaspoons which was still a bit hot for my son... but he cleared his plate! Will definately make this again.

  This went down a treat! We stole Phildelahaye's idea and swapped half of the chicken for mushrooms and courgette. Definitely a keeper!

  This was lovely and easy to make.I've even managed to get my 7 year old to eat it even though he swore blind he didn't like indian food!I used sultanas instead of the raisins and it gave it a nice sweetness.

  Having read all the above accolades I knew this dish had to be, at the very least, decently good, so I decided to make it for dinner last night. Was it "decently good?" No it was not .... it was absolutely SUPERB! What a winner! My husband was still talking about it this morning and telling me that I must make it again for him. You bet I will be making this again - and again and again and again! Enjoy!

  I agree with all the other comments - this was really simple to make and tasted great. I already had madras paste so just used half the amount and this worked fine. Made for dinner today for just 2 of us but used the full amount of ingredients so we can have the rest cold for lunch tomorrow.

  So quick and easy, have eaten it 2 days running. Unfortunately my husband polished off the remains today so I havent got chance to make the coronation chicken as suggested! Will definitely make again.

  I found this to be a very good recipe. I used 650ml of stock and leftover chicken from a roast. Also used a milder paste. It was a real treat. Tasted great and I think the fragrance from the spices works very well. I have also tried the recipe as it is described and i think 850ml of stock is too much, it does not absorb the rice enough. 650ml is good.
