Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook onion with the dry spices over a low heat for 5-6 mins until the onion is light golden. Add the chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min, then throw in the mixed vegetables and cook for a further 5 mins.
  2. Divide the mixture appropriately between two pans if serving vegetarians and meat eaters. Chop the chicken into small chunks and stir into one pan. Add the stock, dividing between the pans appropriately, and simmer for 10 mins (if only cooking the veggie version in one pan, use 300ml stock; if dividing between two pans, add 250ml to each). Divide the peas, if necessary, and add, cooking for 3 mins more until the veg are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir through the yogurt and ground almonds, if using. Serve sprinkled with the toasted almonds and coriander, with basmati rice or naan bread on the side.

IF YOU WANT TO USE A SLOW COOKER...

If you want to make the vegetarian version of this curry in a slow cooker, firstly cook off the onions with the dry spices in a frying pan for 5-6 mins. Add the chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, then tip into your slow cooker. Throw in the vegetables and 400ml stock, cover and cook on Low for 4 hours until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the peas, yogurt and ground almonds with seasoning, stand for 5 minutes then serve as above.

    Delicious and easy to make. I also made it without the yogurt (I forgot to buy some), added a little more ground almond and added some cornflour to thicken. Would definitely have it again.

    This sounds great but I don't like cardamom so will leave out. Hopefully it will be just right for me.

    Followed the instructions, but the korma came out terribly watery and had very little taste. Not sure what I did wrong. Perhaps the yoghurt didn't have enough fat in it?

    Hi Saturdayedition, I'm sorry it came out watery. We have amended the recipe because if you're just cooking the veggie version in one pan you can use a bit less stock. To get the creamiest texture try using Greek yogurt (or even a coconut flavoured Greek yogurt). Low-fat yogurt will of course be healthier but can make it watery. Hope this helps, Emily

    Was struggling to think of something for tea tonight, this was just right, quick and easy to make but tasty and healthy to eat and even better is made from things many are likely to have in the store cupboard.

    Hi! We cooked this last night and didn't like it much. I suppose we made the same mistake of using low-fat yogurt (forgot to buy something more creamier for the recipe), but also it was a bit tasteless. Just wondering if the quality of the spices you use make a difference. Not sure I'll try it again, but at least we had something different (and healthier) for the weekend.

    I have made this 3 times already - very yummy and worth doing. My 20 month old loves it too.

    My two year old liked it but we found this quite bland. Needs more spice and more heat.

    this is bubbling away right now. Have used some curry paste & tin of tomatoes having read other posts. Will add ground almonds & half fat creme fraiche (forgot to get yogurt today!) soon. Yum

    Know thy ingredients. This is pretty mild, but it's a meant to be a korma, and note that it only has one green chilli between four people. If you prefer hotter curry then try using some grey matter.

    made this for friends (and myself!) and we really enjoyed it - I'm vegetarian and they're not but they found the veggie version very tasty. Quick and easy - I recommend it

    A very nice dish to serve with other curry dishes. I used ground cardamom rather than pods, didn't bother with the peas but added some ground fenugreek towards the end. Very easy and tasty - will definitely be making again.

    Unevenly cooked veg (soggy broccoli and barely cooked potato even though I diced it finely) floating in flavoured water. A squeeze of lemon and generous seasoning helped the flavour, but I won't be making it again.

    This was a big disappointment. The juice just tasted of stock. Whizzed it up & made soup.

    I have just cooked this and it tasts fab, take the lid off before the end of cooking to dry out a bit and concentrate the flavour, at the end I added 1tsp off Gara masala. If you use low fat yogurt try putting a piece off muslem (may have spelt this wrong do'nt want to affend) in a sieve and let the water drain out for a few hours this stableisies the yogurt and thickens it up, then add some of the warm gravy to the yogurt to warm it up before you put the yogurt in the pan then just warm but not boil. I will eat this in 2 days time when all the flavours have come together. Ca'nt wait

    was really looking forward to this but was so so disappointed. I know it is a korma so I added some extra chillies but it was so bland. More like a veg soup, which is actually what I turned the left-overs into!! Have only just seen the other comments including the change of amount of stock. Wished I had seen before I started. Not one to do again.

    How this can be described as a creamy vegetable korma is beyond me. Mine is a disaster and looks absolutely nothing like the photo. Watery, tasteless sauce. Will not be making this again.
