Chicken Korma - Takeaway Style!

Submitted by Bouncepogo

"I was sick of getting recipes for curries that never end up like you expect. Get a takeaway korma, and it's got lots of sauce for dipping your naan in. You can achieve this without too much hassle. This is the latest version of my korma research!"

This tastes like a slightly worse version of cheap supermarket knock off - shockingly bad, the whole dish is overpowered by the pepper - if you like takeaway korma then avoid this at all costs.
