Chicken Korma
Editors note: When we were typing this one up we were quite surprised by the lack of coconut or almonds in the recipe - a quick search on wikipedia revealed that this is in fact just a UK thing and that these ingredients are not a requirement for a chicken korma! This recipe is therefore much closer to the way it would have been made on the Indian subcontinent.
