Instructions

Step 1
  • Start with a bowl, and add the Big Milk, yoghurt, garam masala, paprika, and salt and pepper. Whisk this all together until it’s completed blended. This is your marinade.
Step 2
  • Add your diced chicken to the marinade and let it chill for a little while you get on with some more prep.
Step 3
  • Using a small food processor, add the onion, garlic, and ginger and blend it up with a little water until it forms a fragrant paste.
Step 4
  • Once the chicken has marinated for about 10 minutes, take the pieces out and pop them on some kitchen roll to soak up the excess liquid. You can throw away the rest of the marinade now it’s done its job.
Step 5
  • Heat up a large pan over a medium to high heat and drizzle with some oil. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and sear the pieces on all sides.
Step 6
  • Once the chicken is nicely sealed, remove it from the pan and put to one side (and pour over any juices from the pan to keep their flavour!)
Step 7
  • Turn down the heat a little and add the curry paste you made earlier along with the turmeric, curry powder, and tomato puree. Cook this for 5-10 minutes.
Step 8
  • Once your sauce is looking nicely reduced and concentrated, add the stock, chicken, coconut milk, and ground almonds, and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce looks just right.
Step 9
  • Serve your delicious chicken korma with rice and naan, and let the family dive in!
Enjoy!
Top Tip

This recipe is also fantastic in a slow cooker! Just move to the slow cooker when it comes to adding the stock and the chicken, and make sure the chicken is covered. It should take about 3-4 hours on low.
