Slow-cooked korma curry
They made beef casserole, pulled pork and this family-friendly chicken Korma.
Everyone loved the idea of having a tasty nutritious meal all ready to eat after a long day.

Chicken Korma

500g chicken thighs (skinless and boneless, cut into strips)
Salt and pepper
1 onion, finely chopped garlic (2 x cloves), crushed

3 tbsp korma curry paste
3 tbsp ground almonds
400ml chicken stock
3 tbsp half-fat crème fraiche or low fat yogurt
Fresh coriander leaves (optional)

4 Mix in the korma curry paste and cook for another minute then add the ground almonds and the chicken stock.
5 Bring to a boil and pour over chicken in the slow cooker. Cover with lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
6 A few minutes prior to serving stir in the cream (or half-fat crème fraiche, or low fat yogurt), then add the coriander if your kids like it!
7 Serve the korma on a bed of rice, with a dollop of plain yoghurt.
Cook’s Tip: Try using brown Basmati rice (my favourite brown rice), as it is not as heavy as other types.
