Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This is so good. Took me exactly one hour from opening the cookbook to sitting down at the dinner table with the food plated. Pretty quick and easy

    I didn’t like how the recipe is written. The ingredient list calls for salt & pepper but doesn’t tell you how much you need. You find out that information in the step by step instructions. Not good if you want a mise en place. It wasn’t easy to follow this recipe and it came out mediocre. I’ll try again another day.

    Delicious with a great texture. Used the garam masala spice blend recipe from Serious Eats as my "curry powder." Really enjoy the burst of sweetness from the cranberries. Used coconut milk instead of coconut water.

  • Buttercups on February 26, 2026

    I used cauliflower rice (this spice paste is really a good way to spark it up!) but definitely should have used basmati. Otherwise very tasty and flavorful. Love the little pops of cranberry. Needs mango chutney accompaniment as everyone says. We didn’t have any so after a few bites was looking for relief from the spice lol.

    Adding to the rotation. Easy, tasty, and makes a tremendous amount of food. Used an instant pot to cook the rice. I didn't have shallots so sliced up a red onion and it was fine.

  • halfchefc on March 13, 2025

    I was unsure about the cranberries so I reduced the amount a little but I loved it! Definitely would make again, super easy, and I would use the full amount of cranberries. Don't forget to slice up the chicken before cooking like I did.

  • SpatulaCity on December 19, 2023

    We really enjoyed this recipe - it almost reminded me of a curry fried rice. Husband doesn’t like dried fruit, so we left that out. Next time I’d add additional curry powder.

  • cook_fresco on November 09, 2023

    Tasty, easy to eat, comforting, lovely blend of flavours. Used lots of lime juice, and 1/3 cup dried barberries instead of the cranberries to use them up; I'd use them again. I forgot to stir the spice paste into the rice and ended up with a dark blob on the bottom; it stirred in without a problem but would have been easier to mix earlier. No accompaniments, perfect as is.

    Very good. I might add some additional curry next time. I can be slow with my prep but this took longer than the suggested 45 minutes.

    Easy, quick and very tasty. Every ingredient adds to this dish, particularly the lime juice. I also think it’s important to chop the cranberries; it helps to evenly disburse the touch of sweetness. It benefited from some slivered almonds for a bit of crunch. Lastly, we served it with mango chutney, pita (not necessary) and TraderJoe’s samosas. Made enough for at least 6-8 people.

  • lou_weez on January 04, 2022

    Easy and delicious. I used the rice cooker to cook the rice which made it even easier.

  • thewoobdog on June 23, 2021

    Delicious (and made our house smell absolutely mouthwatering) but it was missing something for us - maybe a bit more acid? Would definitely make again, though!

  • Shewi128 on April 07, 2021

    We loved this recipe! My husband declared it a keeper. I don't love dried fruit in savory recipes, but the cranberries were a nice bite of sweetness. I will definitely make this again.

  • et12 on January 11, 2021

    Nice and tasty, not spicy at all but with good balance of flavour. Easy to make.

  • jaelsne on August 31, 2020

    This was a delicious recipe, and very easy to put together. My husband loved it. The cranberries made it just a bit too sweet to my taste. Next time I’ll substitute a tarter dried berry, or offer some chopped cashews to counteract the sweetness.

  • bwhip on October 15, 2019

    Fantastic dish. Great depth of flavor, with a lovely blend of spices. Pretty easy to put together on a weeknight (about 45 minutes as advertised), and we absolutely loved the result. Mango chutney is a perfect accompaniment. We'll definitely be enjoying this one again.
