Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: A rich, well-balanced curry with a lovely sweet-and-spicy depth; the mango chutney adds a fruity note, though some find it a little too sweet.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with most finding it ready in around 20 minutes as described.
  • Suggestions: Reduce the water slightly if you prefer a thicker sauce, and consider adding a dollop of yoghurt or crème fraîche to balance the heat or round out the flavour. Adding extra vegetables such as peppers or courgettes, or stirring in chickpeas, helps bulk out the dish nicely.
  • Next-day meals: Leftovers reheat well and some find the flavours deepen overnight, making it a great dish to prepare ahead.
  • Spice level: The chilli is easy to adjust — leave it out entirely for a mild, family-friendly result, or keep the seeds in for a more noticeable kick. Some find the full recipe milder than expected even with all the chilli included.
  • Texture: A handful of reviewers suggest adding cashew nuts or toasted almonds for a satisfying crunch that lifts the finished dish.
