    I halved this recipe as just doing for two, and it served us generously. Was a great one pan dinner, full of flavour. Only change would be to use weaker chicken stock next time, as I was a bit more aware of that flavour than I was expecting. Added some more water too. Will definately do again.

    This recipe is nice and easy and very tasty, however used slightly more cumin and cardomon pods than recommended! Will definitely cook again.

    I don't like spicy food or curries so I was a bit worried about trying this, but it sounded so interesting. It was delicious. Not too spicy, certainly not hot, but very full of flavour. And extremely quick to make.
