Anyone know of a good tried & tested chicken korma.

Finally got daughter to dip into a take away of mine.
She loves Korma sauce & naan bread.

I have the chicken and I have the naan (Pataks do a FANTASTIC frozen square naan)but would like a really sweet, creamy Korma sauce recipe not any of the mixes because I haven't tasted a decent one yet.

More of a madras gal myself but Korma is nice every now & then.

(Also has anyone tried those curry spice packs you get off ebay with all the dried spice mix & recipe; are they any good?).

If its a jar you are after, the best Korma sauce I have tasted, is Kan Pur Korma sauce from Lidl.

I usually fry a red onion, a green pepper to mix in with it and use skinless chicken thighs.

The family reckon its the most authentic other than making one from scratch

Pataks paste never fails me. You can get it for loads of different curries and it has all the right spices/amounts mixed in. Never had the korma mix but can highly recomend the madras.
The fact it comes in a jar is off-putting at first but you use fresh onions, tinned or fresh tomatos etc and all the paste does is provide the spices without spending ages adding them seperatly.

Try making your own. I do a Lamb Keema but you can use the same recipe for chicken korma.
3 or 4 chicken breasts chopped
1 onion diced
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
4 fresh tomatoes chopped
1/2 tin coconut milk
1 to 2 teaspoons Pakat mild curry paste or Korma paste.

Fried chicken for around 10 mins, drain any liquid off, add onions & garlic & fry gently, add tomatoes, curry paste & finally coconut milk & cook gently for 15 to 20 nimutes & serve.

Well it's not tried and tested by me, but my dad sent me this link and says it's exactly like the one from his takeaway (and he has a good takeaway!): http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-chicken-korma

In fact the whole site has some good looking recipes, I'm going to try the naan and pilau rice recipes today with a fish curry I think (or maybe pork, undecided as yet!)
