Chicken Korma Curry
Ingredients
Curry paste
¾ cup (90 g) ground cashews
2 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp Garam Masala
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1/3 cup (80ml) tomato puree
1-2 birdseye chilli
1/3 cup (80 ml) canola oil
270 ml coconut milk
300 ml thickened cream
800 g chicken thigh fillet
Salt to taste
1 bunch coriander, leaves removed and roughly chopped
Method
Place all the curry paste ingredients into a blender. Process until it becomes a fine paste.
Place the curry paste in a medium sized saucepan and cook on Induction level 6, stirring continuously until it becomes aromatic, add coconut milk and cream and stir well to ensure the curry paste is not sticking to the base of the saucepan. Increase the Induction level to 7.5 and bring to the boil.
Meanwhile cut each chicken thigh into 6-8 pieces. Add the chicken to the saucepan and season with salt to taste. Reduce Induction level to 5 and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes, uncovered or until chicken is tender. Garnish with coriander and serve with steamed Basmati rice and warm naan.
Notes
Add chilli to taste. The paste can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for 1 week or frozen for 1 month.
