Topic: Korma

[nursebetty]

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.

Ingredients: -

3 or 4 chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces - 4 tbsp vegetable oil.
- 4 tsp fresh garlic (pureed) - 2 tsp turmeric powder - 400ml curry base - About

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
