Ultrabluedress - can u give me the recipe for ur korma? - I'm going to do a chicken casarole tomorrow
lots of garlic in it -my fave flavour ever! My little boy asked me for a happy meal from mcds today,so am away to the shop to get breadcrumbs and make him home made nuggets! They seam easy to make
!! Xx
That sounds lovely I can never get breadcrumbs to stick to anything I try to make haha, if you use breadcrumbs made from your hex allowance there is no reason why you can't have the nuggetts too, do them with SW chips , or my new discovery butternut squash chips which are free on Red days.
Anyway this is the recipe for the korma I found it here somewhere but just adapted it as I didn't have some of the spices...
Chicken Korma as posted by wenjenn66
serves 4 ready in about 50 minutes
Garlic
8oz onions
2 1/2cm fresh root ginger
I used ground ginger
1/4 pint chicken stock made with oxo cube
4 chicken breasts
1 tbsp ground corriander
1 cinnamon stick
5 cardomon pods
I hadn't got the pods so just used a 1/4tsp each of cinnamon and nutmeg
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon (I used lemon juice ie Jif)
1oz grated creamed coconut
I used coconut esscence to taste
5oz fat free natural yogurt
1/2oz flaked toasted almonds
You don't have to add these but I had some lying in the cupboard and they made a nice texture
a small handful of fresh corriander
lemon wedge to serve
Method:
roughlt chop onions, garlic and ginger. transfer to frying pan, add stock bring to boil and simmer for 5 mins
cut chicken into chunks. add to the mixture and cook stirring soften for a further 5 mins or until chicken coloured all over. Stir in the spices, seasoning and lemon juice. Add the coconut and cook gently until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat discard the cinamon stick and cardomon pods if used, then stir the yoghurt through gently just before serving, this stops the yoghurt splitting...sprinkle with almonds and corriander and serve.
it is very pale in colour so it might be an idea to add some yellow food colouring (I added turmeric spice)
I used cauliflower instead of rice to make it Red day friendly, all you do is chop the florets finely to resemble then microwave for a few mins until soft, sounds weird but once you have the curry on top you really don't notice the difference
