Taste test comments
Somewhat lacking in flavour for a curry; no vegetables to sight, but a very tasty meal that I would rate alongside a cheap restaurant rice and curry; first one I would actually consider buying; big clump of rice in the middle – needs seasoning; chicken is dry but nice flavours throughout sauce.
