  Couldn't find the balti paste suggested so used Waitrose's 'spoonful of balti curry paste instead. Was cooking this for two small children (aged 4 and 2) so only used 3 tbsp. Added some frozen peas for the last ten minutes. Really tasty and very easy. Will definitely make again.

  Glorious! I used Patak's korma instead of balti paste, so I still don't know what it was intended to taste like, but my version was fab. I had been a bit concerned that I'd jeopardised the success by letting the onions brown in the initial frying, but it didn't seem to affect the final outcome (or maybe it did, but it improved it!). The other tweak I made was using skinless thighs and drumsticks instead of the cubed chicken breast, so to make sure they were cooked thoroughly, I put them in at the same time as the curry paste, fried til aromatic, then added the stock and simmered, covered, for a good half an hour before adding the rice, so the meat was falling off the bone. Wonderful, wonderful. I can't help thinking that using chicken on the bone has got to be an improvement on the original, as the meat was so tender and flavoursome, so I'd urge people to try it. Will definitely make it again (and do it my way!).

  love this but as spice addicts we need a little more so I always put a teaspoon full of Garam Masala and half a teaspoon of chilli powder in with it - YUMMMMMMMY!!!

  made tonight, used only 650ml stock as read on a couple of comments. finished up great, thoroughly enjoyed. Tastes authentic and only takes half an hour. used 4tbsp of pataks balti paste and it was not spicy in the slightest, will use more next time or possibly add chillies? but otherwise I recomended!

  Thank you so much. I have just made this meal much to the surprise of my husband who usually does all the cooking. He liked it so much he had seconds and kept saying this is really good. Feel on top of the world. Thank you BBCGoodFood and all the people who take the time to rate recipes and give their suggested improvements. :-))
