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.

    delicious. I found the timings worked fine; i browned the cauliflower and fried the rice in the spices and oil before adding in the coconut milk and stock

    I agree with the other recipe that the rice needed more time. Actually, for me the rice did and also the bottom of the chicken failed to cook as fast as the top. I ended up separating out the chicken and putting it on a tray back in the oven, and adding more chicken broth to the rice, covering it, and putting it back in too, for about another 15 minutes. The end result was good, but perhaps not mind-blowing.

    This was delicious but like most Diana Henry recipes, I found it needed so much longer to cook (don't know if it's just me?). The rice needed nearly an hour, rather than the 35 mins the recipe states. When I cross-referenced with The Roasting Tin by Rukmini Iyer, she said that rice needs 50-60 mins in the oven which I would agree with. Next time, I would layer the rice at the bottom of the tin, pour over the coconut milk and stock mix then add the rest of the ingredients. I'd cook for 40 mins uncovered, then 15-20 mins covered. Worth it though - it is Diana Henry after all!
