    Submitted by LisaK78 on 2. January 2020 - 19:36.

    Made this tonight and hubby & both kids enjoyed it & have asked me to keep making it. Added a good teaspoon of salt & some pepper and used only 1 tablespoon lemon - I wish now I added more lemon. I personally found it 'nice' but bland and lacking - none of the flavours really came through enough for me. I love my spices. I'll be making it again for sure but will play around with some more spices.

    Submitted by heidi_hi on 13. February 2019 - 22:00.

    Really delish and easy! I noticed there was no salt in the recipe so I added a good tablespoon of chicken stock paste and found the flavours were even better after a taste with a wee squeeze of lemon juice. Next time I'll throw in some veg, but this made a lovely, rich flavoursome sauce with pantry staples. What a winner!

    Oh and I omitted chilli for the little people in my house.

    Submitted by Livetoeat on 5. November 2015 - 13:43.

    Made this yesterday, I didn't mind it, hubs and the kids needed convincing. did omit the lemon based on some other comments about it being overpowering, maybe it needed a bit. It was nice overall but prob wouldn't make it again.

  • A great dish, my 8yo cooked

    Submitted by kcherri80 on 4. August 2015 - 18:46.

    A great dish, my 8yo cooked this tonight (with a little help) and it's a winner 4 kids, myself and my partner gobbled it up and asked for more! The only amendments I made were 1 tsp salt when adding the spices and omitting the dried chilli. Instead I added one fresh chilli with the onion and garlic. Made 1 1/2 quantities so needed to cook it for 30minutes. This will be making an appearance on the menu again.

  • Nice flavour. I didn't add

    Submitted by wendyroo on 30. June 2014 - 10:06.

    Nice flavour. I didn't add lemon, simply because I don't like lemon in curries. Overall the dish had a nice flavour , I should have added more chilli for extra flavour, but this is a good base for a curry. The cashews help make the sauce thicken and it was a perfect consistency. Next time will add some beans and maybe some roasted kumera. I cut my chicken into large pieces and it stayed the same, it didn't shred, I cooked mine 25 minutes. I love it when you cook something from scratch. FRESH IS BEST.

  • This was delicious! Lovely

    Submitted by Karen2277 on 13. April 2013 - 23:41.

    This was delicious! Lovely flavour but more chilli could be added if you like, perhaps fresh chilli when  adding the garlic and onion rather than chilli flakes. We did add it at the end as felt it needed a bit of a kick, but that is a personal taste. Will definitely make again and many thanks Nicky for the recipe.  Cooking 7

    So many recipes to try, but so little time!
