  I made this recipe at the weekend and I think it came out a bit too stodgey so I think next time I might reduce the liquid a little too as I did wash the rice etc as instructed. OH enjoyed it though with the accompanying Squash & Coconut Curry. Have frozen half - not sure if it is suitable for freezing - anybody else tried freezing it?

  This is absolutely lovely, really simple to cook and its all in one pot. This will now become a regular evening meal I will keep making. Superb. I made half the ingredients and there was still loads to go round, so ate it cold the following day with salad.

  I will have to make this after reading so many good reports about it. Can someone tell me if you can freeze this cause I am having people staying for a week and I would like to cook meals & freeze them so that I can enjoy going out with them rather than cooking on the days they are here.

  This was great, the very first time i have made a Biryani and I couldnt belive how lovely it was. I used brown rice rather than white so it took 45 mins to cook through (maybe next time I will part cook the rice in chicken stock)but the results were fantastic, I also substituted some of the chicken for mushrooms and corgett.

  So yummy!! Didnt add raisins or almonds, I used quorn in stead of chicken and veg stock instead of chicken stock. Was very tasty, much healthier than a takeway!

  This is absolutely gorgeous! Although mine was a bit wet at the end so I may reduce the stock ever so slightly..I probably did to much to begin with!

  It tastes fine and easy to make, yes, but Biryani should not be degraded like this. This isnt Biryani at all, I am afraid. Call it hakka style chicken curry rice and I wont frown.

  Tasty dish and easy to make. Would use a spicer curry paste next time for more of a kick! Also used chicken thighs instead of breasts for more flavour.

  This is such a simple recipe and yet as others have reported, is like (or in my opinion, better than) a takeaway. Didn't used raisins as I'm not a fan of them and didn't use almonds - it was filling enough. I think next time I would like to add some thinly cut carrot, I think that'd make it even nicer.

  This is delicious! I left out the flaked almonds and raisins as not my cup of tea, and it tasted fab! Even my 3 year old ate it all up. Excellent one pot dinner, which will become a firm favourite in our house!

  Fab dish. First attempt at a Biryani and it worked out great. Used Biryani curry paste and added a teaspoon of madras curry powder for additional spice. Didnt use raisans or cinnamon - loved the dish. Will make again and again.

  This was lovely and very easy too. I wasn't sure how long to soak the rice (I never normally soak or rinse basmati rice, and it always cooks perfectly well) so I rinsed it under warm water for a couple of minutes instead.

  Loved this - so easy & tasty - makes loads! Used cooked lamb and added some chopped courgette & red and yellow pepper. All it needed was some naan bread. Will defintely be making again.
