  Good stuff! The chicken is a little bland and could need some salt and pepper in addition to the curry. I would also like a more crisp surface. The onion need to be cut in really thin strips to turn out crispy. The rice is lovely!

  This was really tasty and simple to make. However, I found that the chicken needed more like 35 minutes to cook properly, and I needed more than 300ml of water for the rice - by the time I added the peas, all the water had been absorbed so I had to add some more boiling water at that stage. Will definitely be making again.

  I don't think I did enough onion for my taste. will keep this one in my binder to make again though because it was nice and simple enough to rustle up for a quick supper.

  This was very tasty and easy! I didn't have a red onion so I just used a white one and it was still delicious. I found the rice a little bit too sweet! So I think next time I'll put a bit more salt and pepper in mine. Also, I added a dash of chilli powder to the chicken as I thought it needed a bit of spice. Overall, very easy for a quick weeknight meal!

  This could be a really good recipe but needs lots of tweaking. The curry powder dries out on top of the chicken and benefits from being made into a paste with the oil first and a bit of chilli powder added to give a kick as the curry alone doesn't have much flavour. The onions are better fried in a little oil seperately as you get more control over them cooking, done in the oven some burnt and others were a bit soggy. I wasn't convinced about the raisins in the rice but that's personal preference. I also added a few flaked almonds on top for a bit of texture. It does need the yoghurt as otherwise it's quite dry and that really brought it together. A good recipe to experiment with.

  Swapped the curry powder for creole seasoning, and added a tablespoon of flora light to the brown rice I used, which made it slightly creamy. Had to add a little soya sauce and pepper as it was a bit too minty for me. I also served the yogurt with balsamic glaze zebra stripes which looked quite fancy! :D

  Oh! And here's a link to how mine turned out! More hearty looking and less fancy, but still went down a treat :) http://julesthenorweegie.blogspot.nl/2013/05/spiced-chicken-with-rice-and-crispy-red.html
