  Great recipe, very tasty and easy to make. I couldn't get cardamom pods here in Germany so I used 1/2 tsp of ground cardamom instead and I left off the almonds as I don't like them. A few have commented that the liquid content is too high but I found it perfect. I did use some homemade chicken stock I had in the freezer though so maybe this was thicker than if a stock cube was used. Serve it with some chutney and a spoonful of sour cream on top...fab!!!

  I thought it was quite bland and also was confused as to why you would only cook rice for only 5 minutes when it normally takes at least 15 or 20. I cooked it for about 20 minutes but still not sure it was long enough. All in all I've had better curries.

  this is now a family staple - paticularly when I have a mob to feed!! Lovely with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon or fresh lime just before serving

  Disgusting. 4tbsp of curry paste is excessive. Biryani is a dry rice dish and, following the measurements on this recipe, it became a kind of pasty soup which tasted of cheap curry paste. A waste of chicken, ingredients and money.

  I really loved this. I thought it was very tasty. However my husband and two boys didn't like it at all. They only ate a few spoonfuls each so it was totally wasted. So I probably won't make this again unless I cut down the ingredients into a solo dinner for myself.

  I thought this recipe was great! I also made this vegetarian by using vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and using kidney beans and peppers in place of the chicken. It was superb! Would highly recommend both styles.
