Chicken Korma

Did you know it is so easy to recreate this Indian Takeaway favourite in the comfort of your own home?!

All you need are 4 simple ingredients for the sauce, plus some spices for zing, and you've got yourself a deliciously creamy korma dish, minus the heaps of oil - winning!

This recipe will give you the luxuriously creamy texture that we all love about a korma, and tou can switch up the chicken for prawns, fish or even tofu if you desire. I've also allowed for plenty of sauce:meat ratio so you can lather it on top of some rice and enjoy it that way too!

INGREDIENTS (serves 4-6):

• 500g chicken breast - diced

• 1 small white onion - finely chopped

• 250ml coconut cream

• 500ml passata

• 200ml single cream

• 1 cinnamon stick

• 1/2 tsp turmeric

• 1 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp coriander cumin powder

• 1/2 tsp garam masala

• 1 1/4 tbsp garlic - minced

• 1 tbsp ginger - minced

• 1/2 - 1 tbsp green chilli - minced (optional)

• 1 tbsp rapeseed oil

• Freshly chopped coriander for garnish

METHOD:

1. Heat the oil in a large pan on high heat then add in the cinnamon stick and allow to infuse until it turns almost black. Add in the onions and lower heat to medium. Cover and allow to sautee for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Add garlic, ginger and green chilli (if using) and sizzle for 1 minute before tossing in the chicken. Cook chicken for 3-4 mins until the pieces begin to brown slightly.

3. Sprinkle in turmeric, salt, coriander cumin powder and garam masala and mix well. Lower the heat, cover and allow the chicken to cook fully.

4. Once the chicken has cooked, add in the passata, coconut cream and single cream. Stir until fully combined. Cover and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once simmered, check the taste and add in any additional salt and a pinch of garam masala if required.

5. Serve with a swirl of single cream and coriander for garnish.
