A very mild dish, I accidentally added 1tspn cinnamon and 1tspn nutmeg before I realised it was only 1/4 tspn, but still very nice. My lemon was small, so I will make it again with a larger lemon next time.
I liked this all in one dish, the kids were not that impressed, however because everything can be cooked separately (ie vegies and chicken all in varoma but don't have to be mixed), the kids could pick out the bits they did like.
I thought the rice was deliciously flavoured. I will make it again, but will probably add other vegies I know the kids will eat.
This is really tasty and so simple. Thankyou.
I really enjoyed this meal. Very tasty
Not as tasty as I'd hoped. I was quite disappointed at the lack of flavour in this 'curry' - next time I'll amp up all the spices to 1tsp each and add another chilli.
This was so delicious. A fabulous recipe! I followed the recipe, only substituting spinach with silverbeet as that's growing like mad in my garden
I really like this recipe. It's everything in one dish, meat, veggies and rice. Simple flavours but really lovely.
This tasted ok but was a bit bland.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! Beautiful dish! I didn't put anything into the rice because if personal preference and it was great. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Good dish.
I used brown rice flour instead of corn flour and only half the lemon was very nice.
Thank you.
