Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring continuously, for 6 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 2 minutes, until the onions start to turn golden brown.
-
Step 2.
Add the garam masala, chilli powder, ground turmeric, and chopped chicken breasts to the pan. Cook, stirring continuously, for 3 minutes until the chicken is starting to brown and is well coated in the spices.
-
Step 3.
Pour 400ml (1⅔ cups) of boiling water into the pan along with the salt. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a lively simmer and cook uncovered for 12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced substantially.
-
Step 4.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the sugar, ground almonds, and crème fraîche until well combined. Serve the korma hot with cooked rice and garnish with chopped fresh coriander.
