  Not bad, although I added extra spice as did not have enough kick in it for our liking. Omitted the raisins for this reason as well (not usually a fan of fruits in Indian cooking). Not sure if I would make again...

  I tried this last night for a girls night in and it went down a treat. It's so easy and very tasty that I know for a fact I'll be cooking this again.

  This is one of my favourites! Really flavoursome. I used a Pataks Biryani paste which worked perfectly (of course)! Served it with naan bread and a salad of tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, coriander and a little sugar, yum!

  One of my favourite recipes! Make it all the time and it's foolproof! I teach Home Economics and make it with students all the time and they LOVE it! It's gorgeous served with Raita and naan bread!

  Great Recipe, Loved by all the family although i would reccomend cooking the rice for a few minutes just to soften it :)

  Made this last night but substituted Quorn and veg stock to make it veggie. The raisins really add a burst of flavour. Very tasty and easy to do. I think it might become a regular fixture in our house.

  a fab recipe, would it not be better to bash the cardamom pods before use and if no cinnamon stick how much powder would you use?

  This is super tasty. I followed advice here and only used 500ml stock and it turned out perfectly. I used jalfrezi paste, half the amount of chicken (thighs), two mini packets of raisins and bulked it out with a green pepper and mushrooms.

  Just started eating chicken again after 5 years of not eating meat. This was a good recipe, very easy to do. Added mushrooms too. There was alot of liquid left after it should have been cooked, I put this down to the mushrooms and just put up the heat until the liquid went.
