  I love this recipe and have made it a few times with different variations. Today I decided to make it again then realised I didn't have any Basmati left, only 'normal rice', so decided to cube 2 large potatoes instead. A really tasty variation and ideal for people who don't like rice!

  Sadly,this is very poor imitation of a fine asian dish. It would look and taste better if you were to simply use a shop bought savoury rice,cook it in the usual way,makuing sure that all the gravy has gone.Let it cool so it naturaly rises,then add your chicken bits,corriander and any other ingrediants you like.

  Very easy to cook and delicious results: who could ask for more?? My 8-year-old didn't like the raisins, but once those were picked out, she ate the rest and pronounced it "yummy".

  Sorry, I seem to be a lone voice here but I really did not like this recipe. The taste just did not even get close to the flavours you would get from a proper Chicken Biryani and I do not think that it was wise to cook the rice with everything else! Maybe I did something wrong but I will not be trying this one again.

  Really enjoyed this. Very very easy and the raisins completely made it. My partner isn't too keen on rice dishes but really liked it too.

  Used chicken pieces instead of breast to make it more economical. Fried them with the onions at the beginning, substituted Madras paste using the same quantity as we prefer our curry hotter. A really easy, quick, delicious dish, kids loved it too- will be cooking it again.

  Delicious! I also added a red pepper to increase the veg content. Only slight disappointment was that the chicken pieces ended up a bit dry. I may have cooked them for too long at the "Cook until aromatic" stage - I did about 10 mins. This instruction is a bit too vague - would be helpful if more specific. Any suggestions from anyone else about how long to cook for at this stage before adding the rice?
