I adapted this using pork! It is delicious and so simple to prepare. I am cooking Indian recipes from the curry club at least 3 times a week. One very happy curry club member

Cooked this 3 times in the past week and the wife loves it. Easy to follow instructions and a delight to cook each time. I always find it easier to measure out all ingredients before I start cooking, can’t go wrong or burn the food then. Love it, keep it up.

I've "nearly" finished cooking this - just got to add the green veg! But wow! This is amazing. On a side note, we got a takeaway the other day - was so disappointing after being spoiled with these amazing recipes!!!!

So on the advice of a previous comment I've done more garlic and ginger! Added a whole bag of chopped spinach (reduced!) because I fancied it. It tastes absolutely amazing !!

By not cutting the chilli what flavour does that add? Realise when you cut it, the heat is released but what's the purpose of the whole chilli?

Green chili adds a chlorophyll green freshness- almost herby

Made this tonight and was a little disappointed with my version. I should have added more ginger and garlic and maybe only chicken thighs, not breast. Saying all that we still enjoyed it.

I always find that people’s salt tolerances are different, my wife loves salt in her food and will always add more to whatever I cook, where I find it more than plenty when I cook and add what the ingredients are telling me. Always best to try before you serve and never just chuck a load in, easier to add as it can’t be taken away.

This was a winner and very straightforward to make. Handy for leaves that might not be fresh enough for your salad. I chucked in some spring onions too.

Made this last night it’s a hearty dish with so much flavour I particularly like using any greens you can find. Which happened to be frozen spinach. It’s a store cupboard meal as I had all the spices, lentils etc. I definitely would cook this again.
