  1. This is good. I think like Kittencal it would be even better with some large garlic cloves crushed in with the onions. I admit I didn't soak for 2 hours (maybe 30 minutes) and this was so quick to put together! I used white Basmati rice, homemade chicken stock made from the chicken I used here, salted butter, sea salt, Recipe #104344 which is a sweet curry powder as we don't like spicy. Instead of sultanas I used yellow raisins because I didn't have any. I would like to try this again with the garlic mentioned. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.
     
  2. Oh my is this good!!! So simple and soooo tasty!! Bought a BBQ chicken and used some basmati rice. The dish was ready in about 15 minutes. Can't wait to have the leftovers!! Thanks katia! :)
     
  3. very good, it needed some heat so I added in cayenne pepper, also I increased the curry, I think it needs some fresh garlic so I might add that in next time, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)
     
  4. I'm in love with this dish. Oh my goodness the flavors are delicious. I didn't have any curry so I used Recipe #230030 and tripled as ask for cinnamon of this recipe only because it pleased me to do so. It's not a reflection on anything lacking in this but just personal taste. I made a 2 serving size and have enough for 4 meals! Very generous serving sizes. Easy to make and the aroma while cooking is wonderful. Thank you Karia for posting this!
