    I took advise from binavino and added the extra spices along with a tsp. of cayenne which really spiced it up, I think half a tsp. cayenne would be better. but It was really good ,the best Korma I've made yet, and really easy to make.

    I personally will not be bothering with this recipe again, followed it word for word, and ended up pouring a shop bought jar over the top and adding more chicken...I too am looking for a nice rich creamy korma, not this poor excuse.

    I am a huge Korma fan and was excited to try this recipe as it looked doable even for me! I have to say I was disapointed. The sauce tated too 'yoghurty', it was pale (almost grey in colour) and it was not thick enough. Nothing like a Korma that I am used to. It's a real shame. I am glad I tried it but I won't be making this one again.

    i made this yesterday and my 3 year old son really enjoyed it. he loves curry and i usually get him the little chicken korma childrens meals from my supermarket. it was fantastic to make him a very quick, healthy, homemade version. will deffinetley make this time and again for him. next time, after dishing up my sons portion, i will add a bit of chopped chilli and corriander for the adults.

    It was ok. I thought it was a bit tasteless and bland. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it was the recipe but I also found it too runny - my brother said it was like curry soup! I don't think I'll make this recipe again but glad I tried it.

    I was sadly disappointed with this recipe. It was very easy to make, but turned out to be bland an uninspiring.

    What a dissapointment, after reading all the reviews on this I had to give it a go. Well to those who said it was watery / soup like, dont know what you did to it, it certainly was not watery. However it was a total waste of 20 minutes, it was the most uninteresting dish I think I've ever cooked. bland doesn't even cover it. It went straight from the pan to the bin.

    This is a nice easy curry, but not as good as the fattening takeaways. All my family love it, but I have made it also with lots of cream and added extra curry paste and then it feels more like a weekend treat than a midweek tea.

    Yummy but not much depth to the flavour. Also as there is no coconut I wouldnt really call this a korma. I added extra turmeric, ground coriander and ground cumin as recommended and also chopped fresh coriander at the end but it was still a bit bland. A teaspoon of Harissa or a chopped birdseye chilli should give it a better kick next time.

    I work with a student called James and we made this recipe in a healthy eating cooking class. This is what James thinks of the curry. I think the curry was nice. A very successful recipe!

    Good recipe although I adapted it a bit by adding tumeric and a squeeze of lemon juice to lift it a bit. Didn't find it watery at all, in fact I had to add extra liquid to it make a sauce.

    Really really good - I added a bit of coconut milk too and a load of chopped coriander. The next time I make it, I will poach chicken and remove it until the last minute to keep it tender. I will definitely make it again.
