Definately not one of our favourites, the 60 second rice is very mushy and would probably turn out better if you cooked your own.

Excellent meal, although I cook my rice the slow conventional way!

Really enjoyed this meal, however found it too dry and would not use 90 second rice in it again. Needs more liquid. Will make again.

Lentils put me off but would try it again?

This recipe is great if you use sultanas instead of apricots and use a sachet of Asia Home Gourmet korma paste. Also use sweetened yogurt instead of unsweetened and serve with brown rice cooked from scratch.
