  I've made this several times now & it comes out perfectly every time. Very simple, easy to cook dish which everyone loves. I made a vegetable curry to go with it so this recipe was even more economical doing four of us for two meals plus a bit extra for me to take to work the next day & reheat for lunch. I didn't include the raisins, coriander or almonds at my son's request but if I was cooking it just for the adults then I would. Might try it substituting cashews for the almonds.

  Very Tasty and very easy, but I thought it was a little bit watery. Could have done with only 400-500ml water (i put approx 600ml as suggested by some). But even so, it went down well with Mum and Boyfriend with vegetable curry on top! I would make again.

  Tried this for the first time...the rice ended up too soggy and mushy. Probably 850mls was too much. Also the paste lacked flavour and all we got was chilli. If I do try this again I will need to adapt it. Filled a hungry stomach all the same.

  A good recipe but as mentioned by a few people it needs a little adapting. Less water and careful with the amount of raisins otherwise it becomes too sweet. Would definitely make again as a mid week meal.

  Very easy to do and very yummy to eat! Perfect for watching the X-Factor, with a plate in one hand and a fork in the other. LOL I added garlic, because we can't do without it and chilli to liven up the heat, plus some sliced mushrooms and green beans cut to about 1" long. Padded it out sufficient for three of us - with a spoonful left over for the dogs, who said it was very delicious, too.

  Really quick & easy dish. Very convenient. I'm making for the third time in two weeks! I add peas & green beans to beef up the the health quota. Fresh sliced tomatoes & hard boile eggs make a great garnish alongside the corriander leaf OR Whiz up some ginger, chilli & garlic to add extra flavour.

  Delicious, a great Friday night dinner and definitely good enough to serve guests (the almonds and corinader make all the difference we think). We also used slightly less water and boosted veg with courgette and mushrooms (added just after the chicken). Even tastier (and more economical) using trimmed and chopped boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

  Very easy to make and has lots of taste. Will be making this over and over again. Left the raisins out as not keen of fruit in my dinner. I used a little less stock.

  I used curry powder because I didn't have curry paste handy and it was very tasty. Even the kids (aged 1 and 3) ate it and they are notoriously picky.

  wasn't that impressed - have made better mid week meals.Think it was ruined by use of Sharwoods Balti paste - all I had.

  Delicious! This has become a firm favorite in our family - my 1 and 3 year old loves this. I add mushrooms and use Rogan Josh curry paste.
