Title: Korma
Post by: nursebetty on June 19, 2015, 04:26 PM
first time making Chicken Korma and I combined two recipes and end result not to my liking as non of the recipes called for Coconut.
As I tend to cook by taste I then added more ginger and then added coconut and ground almonds.
The original recipes it was Cashew nuts which I did add but felt Almonds gave it the bite as does the coconut.
First time using a base Curry as well and some of the family hate onions but scoffed the Korma

Have you tried using coconut milk powder? It gives a good standard BIR taste. Maggi do an expensive packet, but you can find cheaper brands even in big supermarkets.

Having reviewed that....that's not how I do it.....not with raw chicken anyway.

Pre-cooked chicken after the first ladle of base works for me - sorry about the dementia  ;D
