whandsy yes I watched it - the dish is "white chicken korma" which has been described as quite a bland dish on this site, though I get the impression that the winning recipe has a decent amount of spicing in it so may not be as bland as others have experienced.

I've never eaten or come across white chicken korma?. The judges and GB public seemed to rate it, the use of chilli intrigues me as its a dish that never crossed my mind as having a spicy option? so it might be worth a try next time I'm in M&S. If its tasty at least we've got the recipe to benchmark our efforts against. Does that lead me to a Ceylon dish?? Opinions please?

I watched it too, but i'm game for trying it. One green chili in every dish, it's not a korma i'm use to , so happy to try.

The original  korma is of parsi/pakistani origin,  had no coconut or ground almond. It was medium-spiced dish that wasn't sweet at all. What the BIRs do is not original korma or the more traditional versions. Generally what you get in pataks korma sauce is a cross between the two sans the chillies.

Please delete this post, thanks.

Has anyone else tried the M&S chilled food version yet? I bought one yesterday (
