Loved this dish!! I only had tandoori paste on hand but was delish! Will definitely make this again. It served 4 adults but would prob do more chicken next time.

Awesome recipe thank you! I cooked twice as much quinoa, chicken & pumpkin, used (tenderloins) and the recipe was delicious. Substituted sultanas for craisins; pine nuts for pistachios; added baby spinach to the salad and there was oodles for dinner and leftovers for lunches.
Definitely recommend.
This was soooo good! I used two whole chicken fillets, more pumpkin and the entire can of chickpeas and this fed 3 adults and two kids. Nothing left on the plate. I will Be making this again. Yum!
No Worries, It probably does do more than 2, i was probably being a piggie

Love it! I love how you make it all in the one go with the varoma on top and the quinoa in the basket. I will so make this for the next bbq or function instead of a standard salad.
Are you sure it just makes 2 portions though? I've been eating from it the 3rd time in a row now and still have enough for lunch tomorrow! And I'm already looking forward to it again!
Didn't have coriander but used parsley which went well together too. And it's easily adaptable too (no chickpeas, other beans etc depending on what is left in the fridge).
Thanks for this!
Easy to make and absolutely amazing! Can't wait to eat this again!!!
