#120 Cashew Chicken Korma : recipe#84


Not long ago I've posted simple Chicken Korma and in that post I've mentioned that there are a number of Chicken korma that you can try. Here's one of those. This version is a bit rich and for those who love Indian food this is one of those that you will enjoy either with rice or nan. Enjoy

Ingredients:
1 medium chicken, skin removed and cut into small pieces.
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
chicken stock powder
salt
sugar
cinnamon stick about 5 cm
5 cardamoms
1 star anise

blended together:
5 shallots
1/2 large onion
1 tbsp ginger
3 garlic
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp Marsala powder
1 handful roasted cashew nuts
2 tbsp Korma powder (if you don't have korma powder you can use 1.5 tbsp coriander powder + 1tsp fennel powder and 1 tsp cumin)
1 small container plain yogurt

steps:
1. Marinade the chicken with the blended ingredients and salt overnight in the fridge.
2. Heat oil in pot, when oil is hot fry the cinnamon sticks, cardamoms and star anise.
3. Add in the chicken, cover the pot , when the chicken boils, reduce flame and simmer till gravy thickens.
4. Add in the chicken stock powder, sugar and tomato wedges. Adjust the flavour and simmer for another 3 minutes. Dish up
