  I made this for the second time and have bumped by 4 star rating up to a 5 star because I added extra lemon juice, loads of ceyanne pepper and red peppers. I also left this in the wok with the lid on for a couple of hours before re-heating and serving to really let all the flavours merge and get absorbed. The extra lemon juice and spices really made the whole meal delicious and I could have eaten it 3 times over.

  Easy to make and absolutely scrumptious. I was cooking for 3, but made amount listed for 4 so we had some leftovers which were soon scooped up for seconds. Think next time I will make sure there's come nice bread to serve with it to soak up the sauce.

  I've made this twice now. First time I followed the recipe and it was lovely. Second time, I added ginger, garlic, a bit more cumin and chilli and it went from lovely to GORGEOUS!

  Tasty and easy to do. Healthy and filling. Added couscous to bulk it up. Equally nice with rice.

  I was really disappointed. Course, it's easy to make but the chicken was super dry, the taste was bland and nothing really went together. I can't really think of anything to improve this, just give up and move on.

  I made this last night and followed the recipe exactly and it was flavourless and awful. I always try to stick to a recipe at first and then change it afterwards, but I think I just wouldn't make this ever again. The people who really liked it must have added in extras.

  Easy to make but disappointing. To watery and sloppy for me, if I make it next time ill drain a little of the lemony juice and add it to some couscous to make it more filling. Whilst low in calories and fat you only get two ladles full from the recipe so its not really a main meal on it own and needs more substance.

  Read the advice and added extra cumin, coriander and chilli. I also put in a clove of garlic. The dish has loads of flavour (what are those guys doing wrong?). Only gets 4 star because there really is not enough time for the spices to sink into the dish. Leftovers might well taste better.... But delicious - quick - easy - cheap. Healthy too.

  Really tasty! Added garlic and might use ground cinnamon next time as the cinnamon stick didn't really have enough to to infuse

  tasted exactly how it looked - BLAND. was surprised that even with the amount of spice and seasoning, it still managed to taste like nothing and gave a very funny after taste
