    Cooked cubed chicken in Pataks tikka paste with onion and added in step 2 of recipe. Didnt have any coriander but still tasted superb! Luckily plenty left for lunch tomorrow!

    Gorgeous curry and low fat what more could you want?!!! Instead of tikka fillets, I marinate chicken breast in Pataks Balti Paste then cook slowly in a baking dish covered with foil. Follow the recipe exactly, I don't put the butter in as I don't think it needs it. Have made this several times and everyone has loved it and asked for the recipe. Was also unsure about adding the almonds but it definitely works. Can't believe you can make such a fantastic curry with so few ingredients, all the others i've made have had to add that many different spices and nothing tastes as good as this recipe. Thankyou Steph its a winner!!!

    Top notch curry but think I would like to marinate my own chicken next time around. I also added a full 400g tin of tomatoes to dampen down the heat of the two red chillis I added, which made more of that great sauce.

    Stumbled across this recipe by accident and it turned out to be a healthy one too! Love this curry, I must have made it over 10 times! It's easy to make and doesn't take too long. I had 6 friends over and all the plates were cleared up which is great for someone that's usually a rubbish cook! Once you've purchased the ingredients the first time they last for months and so doesn't cost much to make after the 1st go, just chicken and a 9p ginger and 3p chillies!

    This was absolutely gorgeous. Made it tonight for my better half. We were both a bit nervous - I've always thought I should leave curries to the experts. I was very dubious at stage 1 but the end result was amazing. Thanks Steph for the recipe. Will definitely be making this again.
