[DARTHPHALL]

Have you tried this one Blondie ??
  DARTH-KORMA

I made this up in my early years & haven't made it for a long time, it is very rich & creamy, experiment with it to your taste.
You can make this without the base, like i do so it becomes a very tasty simple dish ( bit like me !!  ;D ;D ;D ).
If you omit the base double up on ingredients marked ** Sorry cant remember how much this will actually make, again experiment.
 
1 batch of curry base http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=182.0 or use the base with Carrots,Green Peppers, etc..etc..
4 tbsp Veg oil.
6 Chicken breasts.
2 tbsp Cashew nuts.**( unsalted of course !!).
1 tbsp Dessicated Coconut.**
piece of creamed Coconut block ( size of a Golf ball).**
1 tsp turmeric.( Gives colour ).
half tsp Garam-masala.
1 tsp ground Cumin.
1 mug of double cream.**
1 tsp chopped Coriander ( omit if you like ).
Raisins/Sultana`s **(1 tbsp of either) some people like Raisins or Sultanas in this dish to make it sweeeeet !!! ( again up to you & wether you puree them or not is personal choice).
2 tsp Fennel seeds.

 Experiment with Cinnamon, Cassia bark, Star anise, fresh sweet fruit in will really give it some !!

Method.
heat oil add curry base.
put in all but the chicken breast.
cook medium for approximately 10 Min's.
add water if necessary ( consistency is up personal preference ,but making it thick makes it very rich.).
Puree or not is up to you.
 please do try it without the base & tell me what you think.

            DARTH not a Chili in sight !!! PHALL  ;D
