  Gorgeous!!! I wasn't sure as i was cooking it but both my husband and I loved it. I'm not a lover of really spicy foods but this was just right....i might even add a few more red chillies next time. This will be a regular in our house.

  Quite tasty, and simple to make, but not as hot as the name would suggest.

  Very good flavour. Would advise on using hot chillis like Birds Eye to get a good kick out of it.

  I thought the dish lacked depth of flavour. Maybe sprinkling a chicken stock cube over might have helped

  Loved this. Upped the chillies to four so that it had a good kick. Will definitely be doing this again.

  Gorgeous! My boyfriend cooked this dish and we both really enjoyed it, he took tip's from other comments and added a red chilli and a chicken stock cube and they certainly paid off. Will certainly be having this again :-)

  May try this again with a chicken stock cube as we thought as others, that it had no real flavour. Was disappointed.

  Sadly I didn't have an spinach around so I added mint instead and a bit of lemon at the very end, turned out better than I thought it would, loved all the different spices and definitely adding more chillies helped the over all flavour!

  Very tasty!! I wouldn't say it needs a stock cube at all. .but I did add a small dollop of tomato puree and also used half a can of chopped toms instead of fresh! Only used rough measurements of the ginger/chilli/spices and it had some good heat to it. ....boyfriend friendly meal!!

  Made this tonight really enjoyed it! Obviously everyones different when it comes to chilli. But where it said 4 tomatoes I threw in a handful of halved cherry tomatoes instead, and a splash of water turned it 200ml of chicken stock then let it simmer. Will definitely become a favourite!!

  Enjoyed it. 2 tips for depth of flavour. Cook onions till they start to brown and Add 1tsp ground coriander powder same time as other spices. And eat with naan bread!

  Tried this yesterday and tasted good! Partly as I am a fan of dark meat so the chicken thigh did it for me. Turned out really fragrant as well. 4 stars!
