Chicken korma sw
Recipe byIngredients
- 675gm (1½ lb) chicken breasts, skinned
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2.5cm (1 inch) piece root ginger, roughly chopped
- Fry Light
- 3 green cardamom pods
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 284ml (½ pt) very low fat natural yoghurt
- toasted flaked almonds (optional – 4½ Syns per level tbsp) and a fresh coriander sprig, to garnish
1. Method
1. Remove any visible fat from the chicken breasts and cut the meat into 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes.
2. Put the garlic and ginger into a food processor or blender with 2tbsp water and process to a smooth, creamy paste.
3. Heat a large heavy-based pan sprayed with Fry Light & cook the chicken cubes for 8-10 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken cubes with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. Add the cardamom pods and fry for 2 minutes. Add the onion and fry for a further 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the garlic and ginger paste, cumin and salt and cook, stirring, for a further 5 minutes.
6. Add half the yoghurt, stirring in a tablespoonful at a time, and cook over a low heat, until it has all been absorbed (to prevent the yoghurt from curdling, add it very slowly to the sauce & keep stirring until it is incorporated). Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Add the remaining yoghurt and simmer for a further five minutes. Garnish with toasted flaked almonds, if using, and coriander and serve.
