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.

    I don’t find this to be too much trouble, once it’s prepared it does it’s own thing. Absolutely worth the effort

    I substituted golden raisins instead of cranberries and reduced the spice a bit for my kids. Really good, I would make it again.

    Excellent and easy. I doubled the amount of onions and cooked them (and drained them on kitchen paper) 24 hours before serving. Used zereshk rather than cranberries. Chicken was very tender, rice was perfectly cooked.

    Very very good. I added pomegranate seeds and they were welcome crunch.

    So much flavour. Quite unexpected really as I felt it wasn't too difficult and 'expected' how it would taste. It ended up being on another level really. I did extra chicken as it had defrosted on the side and I was worried it would end up wasted, I adjusted the spices accordingly. The only change really was I left out the julienned ginger - having increased the ginger to 35g I was very concerned it would end up too spicy. 3 of us were happy with that decision, the 4th wanted more! The 'saffron water' created so much colour. The fried onions - be very careful. One second nowhere near, next one - black (or so you think), but my word - make extra to sprinkle on top. Looking forward to more from this book. I used barberries instead of cranberries (oh the ottolenghi effect). Served with the raita and brussel sprout thoran (meera sodha). Excellent.
