  Lovely! Kids wouldn't eat it but then they turn their noses up at everything! I thought it was delicious and really easy to make.

  Unfortunately I had to make this recipe without cardommom pods or bay leaves as none were available o me but the recipe was still very tasty. I also used Pataks Biryani curry paste, so I guess any paste will work well.

  I followed this receipe to the T and sure enough, it comes out pretty much as it appears in the receipe picture. A very tasty dish but quite a heavy one due to all the ingredients and the cooked in rice. I added in a couple of boiled eggs (halved) and a couple of quarted potatoes as the Biryani's I used to have in South Africa made by my Durban Indian friends always had them in there. Well, the verdic from my two testers was "very good, very tasty and seconds were had". The receipe says serves four but I also had another dish to break things up a bit, so was able to freeze 50% of the meal for another day and will look forward to how it will taste second time around!

  I do this on a regular basis, I usually leave the turmeric and cinnamon out as I never remember to buy it, and I also add petit pois peas to it. It's such an easy meal to make and the smells are devine.

  Excellent results and easy to make. I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of butter and it tasted fine. I couldn't get Patak's Balti paste so I used M&S Balti Paste which was superb. To make enough for 2 people I halved most of the amounts, but used 350g Chicken Breast, 3 tbsp Balti Paste, 1 Onion, 1 Bay Leaf and 2 Cardamom Pods. The best quick recipe I have tried so far!

  Made this last week and it was absolutely superb. Tried to adapt it for two people but I think I put a little too much liquid in as it wasn't dry enough at the end, and I still think it would have fed four! Making it again this week because it's too yummy by half.

  This recipe uses Patak's Balti Paste. Just want to add that Patak's do Biryani Paste which I use. Method and ingredients a bit different but great result.

  While making it I thought 4 tbsp of curry paste was slightly excessive so only used 3. It was delicious!

  Very nice. I didn't think the rice would cook but left the lid on for the recommended amount of time and sure enough, when I took it off the whole thing was ready. I added some vegetables (carrot, pepper and cauliflower) which I'd roasted with a little of the curry paste. I also left out the chicken and then added cooked prawns at the end instead. And I left out the raisins (don't like them in savoury dishes) and the almonds (didn't have any). So quite a diversion but still the same basic recipe. Delicious.
