  • Sorry to butt into the thread with an off-topic request, but do you have a recipe for this that you would be able to share? I love korma but as I'm on a diet I'd written it off. Thanks in advance :)

    Hi, I know another Korma recipe has already been posted, but this is the recipe I'll be using. It's from the latest Easy Cook (Issue 31, Winter 2010).

    Small piece of finely chopped ginger
    1 chopped onion
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    1 tbsp oil
    4 chopped skinless chicken breasts
    1 tsp garam masala (I shall probably increase this as we like it a bit spicier)
    100ml chicken stock
    3 tbsp low-fat fromage frais
    2 tbsp ground almonds

    Lightly fry the ginger, onion and garlic in the oil, and then add the chicken breasts. Cook until browned. Then add the garam masala and cook for another minute.

    Add the chicken stock, stir until everything mixed nicely and then cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fromage frais and ground almonds.

    Mum tried it last night (without the ground almonds) and loved it. I'll let you know how it goes down. :)

    Hope that helps.
