I found this recipe 'nearly there'. Sound base, but the flavour of the chicken/sauce was odd and I think the poster could have added different spices, creating a kind of curry 'blend'. As it was, the chicken/sauce tasted 'flat'. The addition of the sour cream at the end was inspired, though. The risotto was tasty, but more instructions, I feel were required as rice cooks in about 20 minutes (but maybe someone else didn't know this?). A recipe that has definite potential, but the spicing needs to be worked on a bit.
