Very easy to make, beautifully balanced and moreish flavours. The rice was perfect and really complimented the chicken methi. Will be ordering again.

This looks delicious, Kat - and we love your beautiful scalloped plates! We're so pleased that you found this recipe easy to make and tasty!

4/5

This went down a treat with the whole family. Very tasty. I prefer a slightly spicier dish so maybe add a little extra chilli next time.

We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tasty flavour of this mild, family-friendly curry! By all means, feel free to liven it up a bit next time with some fresh chillies to garnish, or a hot dish on the side like a masala dhal or chilli chutney!

This was so easy to cook ,the kitchen window was left open so that the neighbours could smell the wonderful aroma wafting from my house ,a very tasty dish , we served it with a raita of cucumber tomato and red onion .and a peshwari naan.We added a small amount of cream at the end of cooking to give a little more sauce.

We bet you made all the neighbours jealous! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this dish, and that you found it nice and simple to cook too!

5/5

Seriously tasty! My husband said this was as good as any takeaway; if not better! I did add some fresh chillies to our taste, but the curry was so fragrant and flavourful. The little pops of heat every now and then made it perfect for us.

Wow - this looks amazing, great job! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed it, and found it to rival (if not beat) the takeaway!

Very helpful on the phone and as usual delivery the next day

This is a bit watery if done according to the recipe. Would use less yogurt next time.

5/5

Good choice of purchasing boxes with several dishes or single dish packets. No added delivery charge at checkout is good and packaging that fits through letterbox helps,
