WHITE CHICKEN KORMA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken pieces with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat, in a large skillet with a lid. When it is very hot, but not smoking, add the bay leaves, cinnamon, and cardamom pods. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, until the spices start to sizzle. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until the onions just start to brown around the edges. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and has started to brown a bit. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for two minutes more. Add Jalapeños and yogurt/water/salt mixture. Lower heat and simmer, stirring, for a minute or so. Cover skillet and cook at a gentle simmer for 8 minutes. Remove cover and add the remaining 1/2 cup of yogurt, heating and stirring gently for about a minute. Serve korma with steamed white rice. Garnish with cilantro, parsley or toasted slivered almonds.
• Note: Remove bay leaves, cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large deep frying pan adding chopped onions and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on a medium heat until the onions are slightly brown. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further 1 or 2 minutes. Add the salt, turmeric and ground cumin.

It is very crucial that spices are mixed within the pan at this point and stirred to ensure that the chicken cooks with texture and flavor. Add water after stirring the chicken into the spices. Turn down the heat slightly and stir in the garam masala and cream cook for a further 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with green coriander.
