Tasted good but was a lot of work for a weeknight meal.

I started at 5 pm and the meal was ready at 8 pm. Not a weeknight dinner but it's excellent! Plenty of leftovers as well.

This was delicious, warm, a little tangy, and flavourful for a cold winter day. I added some lemon to the yogurt sauce; I won't do that next time as it was too lemony. Like others, I also left out the potato in the meatballs and it was fine. My 11-year-old daughter said she'll want me to make this for her next birthday meal. That's how I know this is a hit!

This was tasty, warm and comforting, as promised. I was tempted to use turkey mince because I thought chicken might be a bit bland, but I followed the recipe and wasn’t disappointed. One to repeat

This was fantastic - a repeat, for sure. I also skipped adding the grated potatoes to the meatballs like an earlier reviewer and didn't miss them. This saved me from having to wash another utensil. The flavors in this were sour, sweet, spiced, and comforting.

I didn't add grated potato to the meatballs just some extra panko. Also instead of red potato used golden Yukon. It worked fine. The sauce the meatballs and potatoes cook in is so good. Don't skip the yogort sauce adds a lot of flavour.

Really delicious. Made with ground turkey. The yogurt sauce was nice, but would have been just as good if it was plain yogurt. Served with couscous (and some preserved lemon in the couscous as it cooked). Will make again

Used half beef, half pork instead of chicken mince and they were amazing. Didin‘t feel the need to make the yogurt sauce and didn‘t miss anything. This recipe will be on repeat!
