Anjum Anand has the power to make me cook even on those days when I just want to lie in front of the fire, eat grilled cheese sandwiches and daydream about being best friends with Ottolenghi (so he can come round and whip me up something fabulous as only he could).
So I am staring at this chicken, trying to talk myself out freezing it. Infact I was soooooooooooo tired I was seriously trying to beam it into the freezer to avoid any movement on my part. Anyway, OH understanding my mood magically appears with some ginger beer and casually leaves Anjum’s ‘Indian food made easy’ nearby. Think moth to a flame about me and cookbooks.
I could taste food off the page by just reading her chicken korma recipe. Thirty minutes later my kitchen smelled good. I liked this so much that I made it again two days later.
I made a few adaptations to Anjum’s recipe leaving out things like peppercorns which I am not a huge fan of and using my preferred coconut milk instead of creamed coconut.
So here is hoping that Anjum’s chicken korma recipe inspires you as much as it did me.

Traditional kormas are mild, creamy sauces with rich flavors from yogurt, almonds, and cream. You might be surprised to learn that korma provides several health advantages. It is a fantastic source of protein.
