Favourite Korma recipe?

Has anyone got a yummy tried n true recipe? Yes will try recipe board too, but thought a few might know in here.

Chicken korma not other types.
Oh and made from scratch with spices, not just from a bottle.

mm we had one last night, and having left overes tonight, it was a packet one, with diced chuck steak(cooked for 3hrs so nice & tender), sliced purple onions, 1 can chickpeas and 1 can canelloni beans....it was DEVINE..

look for these packets at countdown, in the International aisle. Called 'Spice n Easy'.Has all the spices and instructions,and lists the extra ingredients you'll need. They taste divine. The aroma of the spices is heavenly !

No, we have all the spices here, bottles of them. just want a decent tried n true recipe.

Woops, snuzal here, just on my mothers acct, forgot that lol

It's hard to go past a recipe from DavidT4 - here you go -

Home-style chicken curry -(you can leave out the chilli powder altogether if you have to)

Serves 4

3 tsp vegetable oil
1 bay leaf
4 green cardamom, 2.5cm cinnamon stick, 10-12 black peppercorns, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 2 cloves all pounded together with a pestle and mortar
250g onions, finely sliced
½ tsp garlic, minced to a paste
½ tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp coriander powder
½ tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
100g tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 tsp tomato paste
800g free range chicken pieces on the bone ( or one free range chicken, jointed)
½ tsp garam masala
2 tsp coriander leaves, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger, finely chopped

Heat the oil in a pan, add the bay leaf and pounded spices, and stir until the spices crackle and they change colour. Add the onions and sauté until golden brown, then add the garlic paste. Stir continuously and keep scraping the bottom of the pan to avoid the mix getting burnt. Add the powdered spices, but not the garam masala. Mix quickly without letting the spices get burnt at the bottom. Add salt, the tomatoes and the paste and cook on slow heat, stirring slowly. As the tomatoes melt to form a sauce, add the chicken and cook on a slow heat for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is almost cooked. Sprinkle on the garam masala and simmer to finish cooking. Add coriander and sprinkle on ginger.

Thanks, but no ground almonds etc as common in a korma. And the kormas I like do not have any tomatoes in them either. just personal preference really.
