It took a little bit of experimentation to get this korma to taste exactly the way I wanted to it. Creamy, but not cloying, mild but not flavourless. I really wanted it to stand out as a curry the adults would love, as well as the kids, but also for it to be quick and simple.
This certainly won’t disappoint. No marinating needed, no removing bits from the pan and adding them back later - just adding ingredients in to build up the flavours, then letting it simmer for a few minutes before serving.
We start by softening onion in a pan in a ghee or oil, then adding chicken. It just needs to cook until it’s sealed as it will continue to cook along with the rest of the ingredients.Next in are the aromatics and spices - we’re talking garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, a little mild chilli powder (leave it out if you want NO heat at all), turmeric, salt and white pepper. I also add in a little tomato puree (paste if you’re in the USA) to add richness and help really coat the chicken in the spices.Now we add in natural yogurt - use full fat as it’s less likely to split, coconut cream, a couple of tablespoons of ground almonds and a tiny bit of sugar for a little sweetness.Simmer for 6-8 minutes - by which time the chicken should be cooked, the stir in 4 tbsp of double (heavy) cream and serve.
Serve topped with a little freshly torn coriander (cilantro). Let’s just have a close look at that creamy curry one more time….
