What can I replace pumpkin with? Interestingly none of us favour pumpkin 😬
Carrot, parsnip, courgette are all good options 🙂 x
Can I replace the pumpkin with something else e.g. Parsnip or carrot?
Of course 🙂 x
Tried this tonight, lovely meal, very easy to make.
Hello,
I don’t have the stainless steel tray. How do i cook this recipe
You can use either the mixing bowl to cook the curry sauce first and then steam the chicken or use another dish that fits in the Varoma 🙂
this looks wonderful! do you have any other recipes using the stainless steel
tray and trivet?
Working on it 🙂 But all omelettes for the tray, fish dishes and miso glazed veggies are great. For the trivet you can use it every time you add a large quantity of veggies or potatoes.
looks yum…but your chicken looks like one whole chicken breast not strips or cubed?
you can do it with a whole chicken breast or diced chicken breast totally up to you.
Can i use parchment paper insteat greaseproof paper ?
Yes.
Lovely flavours and easy to cook – thank you
I’m confused because my chicken was barely cooked, so I had to finish in the microwave.
Why is someone mentioning a ‘stainless steel tray”? I don’t see mention of one in the recipe.
