Indian Takeaway Chicken Korma Curry image

This recipe is for a British Indian Restaurant standard Chicken Korma. It's rich, sweet, creamy and full of flavour! There are two parts to this recipe: first, the curry gravy base and second, the sauce that gives it that magic chicken korma taste. The curry base is very versatile and can be used as a base for many different takeaway quality curries. The curry base part of the recipe actually makes 3 x 225ml of curry base and can be stored in three separate containers and put in the fridge or freezer for another time or another curry!

  • Now for the chicken korma part! Heat the 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan on a medium heat and cook the diced chicken breast until sealed.
  • Add one portion of curry base (225ml) and stir on a medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • Next, add the coconut powder, almond powder, sugar and stir for a further minute.
  • Stir in the single cream and continue to simmer on a medium- low heat for 15 minutes, stirring often.

This korma curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
