Free Korma

[equi]

I make this a lot cause it is nice to me haha. It is basically the chicken tikka recipie but with korma and i don't do it exactly the same. Here is how i do it i'm only one person so i make enough for two and have it for lunch next day, double it all for more. I'm also a veggie so i use quorn which doesn't take as long to cook as chicken so be careful to cook longer for real meat:

Chop 1 onion (optional)
Chop some muchrooms (optional)
Chop 1 pepper (optional)
Add meat if you have it, and cook all together for a bit until meats browned/whatever meat does!
For quorn don't add this until after the veggies and sauce has cooked for a bit unless you like the crunchy veggies, i like them soft and mushy
Add 2 heaped tbsp of Fat Free Natural Yogurt (i use Onken)
Add 200g of Sainsburys 0% Fat Free Fromage Frais
Add about 3 tsp of Korma spices
Add a tbsp of sweetener
Mixx all together well (unless making the sauce separately)
Cook until the meat is done

Serve with Boiled Rice and enjoy
The sauce does tend to go lumpy so if you want it very smooth i would advise making the sauce separately and blending it

This sounds yummy!!! I miss Korma....its my favourite curry and sooooooooooooooooo many syns!!! Ive taken to Rogan Josh now but will definitely give this a go. Thanks for the tip about the lumps too!!

I will try the separate sauce tonight and photo graph it, i personally don't mind it lumpy cause it adds more texture, but i know all people are different!

Mine is for the person who can't afford to or doesn't have the time to do that that's why I posted it. It's different to that one and frankly it's a little patronising that you posted that...

 

[abbiewilko]

sounds delish equi! will have to try this this week, maybe for my Friday night 'takeaway'

I'm sorry that you feel that I am patronising! I had just developed this recipe and the Thread was Korma, and if you looked at my recipies, you would see that they are all like that, I live on a pension so I don't have money to waste, nor am I knocking your recipe..
I started to add my recipes on this website after lots of requests for them, +50,000 hits since January this year, so someone likes them............

Thats fabulous. But this is a different and more simple way to make it so bombarding my post with your own i felt was a little insulting.
