  This was yummy but I am giving it 4 stars because for me there was too much liquid - I was cooking it forever to get the liquid to go down. And because I think it could do with some healthy vegetables in it. (I put frozen spinach in mine, which worked well.)

  Frozen spinach has a habit of producing liquid...try a salad next time.

  I made this as part of an Indian buffet, doubling up on the ingredients which worked well. I made it the day before and reheated so a great make-ahead one pot dish. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts which were more tasty and used bulgar wheat instead of quinoa (same measurement) and it tasted lovely.

  Cooked this meal for the first time recently. Stuck to the recipe with no deviations and was pleasantly surprised by the result. First time using quinoa, but did not encounter any issues as highlighted by previous reviewers. A meal for the whole family, and my children certainly enjoyed. Accompanied by some home-made Naan bread made for a filling meal.

  Please could someone let me know if this is suitable for slow cooking? Are nuts OK in a slow cooker? Also how long would this take? Any slow cooking tips would be highly appreciated - Thanks

  I made this for a family of three, was plenty. I would use less quinoa next time and more balti paste as we prefer more spice. I reheated what was left the next day and thought it tasted better, (?).

  I had to add lots more fluid during cooking as the quinoa soaked the liquid up very quickly. The finished dish was nutritious and the whole family ate it but it was nothing special. Probably won't make it again.

  I made this after reading all the comments and decided to alter the recipe slightly, but using two tins of tomatoes and half a litre of stock. It worked very well and there was plenty of sauce - I think a litre of stock would have been far too much liquid. Everyone said it was yummy. The quinoa worked well and I like the fact that it had a different texture to other curries. Next time I will add some extra veg, maybe spinach.

  Made this last night and must say it is the worst dish I ever made, followed the recipe religiously and am sad to report I actually still feel a bit sick today. I tried quinoa before and liked it, but definitely doesn't work for me in curry and in combination with chicken. Threw away the recipe already!

  Very easy and very tasty. Simmered for about an hour (husband late home from work!) and it was a lovely texture, nice and thick - perfect for dunking our naan breads! I cut the chicken into smaller chunks as we prefer it that way, worked well. Quinoa made nice change from rice. Really enjoyed it and will def be making again.

  I've made many recipes from the Good Food site, all really good, but this is my absolute favourite! I decided to try a lighter option without the chicken and a selection of veg: pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, courgette and also king prawns and it was still truly delicious. Highly Recommend this recipe. NB It's the quinoa that really makes it though!
