Chicken Korma

Submitted by Da Huz

"Adapted from The Spice Cookbook. We made it with turkey and it worked very well. A "korma" is one of the many forms of curry. Not very spicy - increase cayenne if desired. Adjust amount of water in the sauce, depending on how big your skillet is; you'll need enough to be able to properly cook the cauliflower. After the first 20 minutes of cooking, it only requires minimal attention. We recommend serving this with Basmati, a good rice used in Indian food."
