  This was lovely, we are all trying to lose weight so appreciate any flavoursome low fat recipe. I replaced the raisins with chopped dates & didn't have any mint so just chopped all the corriander into a pot of fat free yog & served on the side. I wasn't sure how the crispy onions would be but they really bring the whole thing together.

  Really tasty. I didn't have curry powder so I made up a morrocan spice mix and it worked well with that.

  Delicious - all the flavours went so well together. Especially the curry falvour of the chicken with the minty yoghurt. Easy to make and very satisfying for a mid-week meal. I would also make this for a small dinner party because it was so impressive! Will be making again!

  This was great, but I found the chicken too dry so I may cook in stock next time seperately to the onions, and I didn't have saffron but used turmerick instead

  great recipe, I reduced the weightwatchers points by cutting out some of the oil, only doing a smaller portion of rice, didn't need the raisins or yogurt. The version I cooked worked out to be 6pts pp on weightwatchers.

  great recipe, simple and easy and very tasty. This could become one of those midweek regulars as it relies on store cupboard ingredients always in the house.

  What a delight to have somethling so healthy and tasty. The rice was absolutely delicious, who would have thought a simple cinnamon stick alone could transform a dish so easily.

  yum, yum. We really enjoyed this ever so simple dish. Top tip do more onions than recipe states as they are so gorgeous. Thought it might be too dry but the chicken was moist and the raita made it. Will definitely do this again soon.
