  1. Cook the ginger, garlic and onion in a large pan with the oil until softened. Tip in the chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 mins, then add in garam masala and cook for 1 min further.
  2. Pour over the stock and simmer for 10 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Mix together the fromage frais and ground almonds. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the fromage frais mixture. Sprinkle over sliced almonds, garnish with coriander and serve with boiled rice, chapatis or plain naan bread.

    I'm afraid that I was disappointed with this recipe as it stands. It's too bland for my tastes. I don't mean this in terms of hotness but in terms of flavour; this dish lacks depth. I may try it again with more spice (and perhaps fruit) because I do think it has potential.

    Although this doesn't taste like a true Korma, still thought it was a great recipe for a low-fat curry. I did find that it needed more stock though. Will definitely make this again.

    Made this for the first time for dinner tonight. Although it went down well and everyones plate was empty, ( maybe they were just being polite : D ), I'm sorry to say it had no taste at all. After the fromage frais went in, everything began to curdle. It was basically just chicken and water! Instead of almonds I used red and green peppers. I won't be making this again and will try something else. Fun to try though!

    Really lovely taste to this curry, almonds really made the difference. I did finely chop the onions as the first time I made it I wasn't keen on the long slivers.

    Very tasty, easy, everyone loved it. Special bonus being low fat :-) The combination of fromage frais and ground almonds was a surprise as it worked so well and replaced the usual coconut milk which I don't like, so a very good alternative - great find! Have filed recipe, will definitely do it again!

    I made this last night, it was nice but nothing exciting, good as a quick midweek meal. It was lacking the taste of coconut so might add that next time. The sauce is very runny and not much of it so if this was split between 4 people as the recipe suggests, then you'd have mainly pieces of chicken with rice.

    Tasty curry not quite the same as korma from takeaway but all family love it and clean plates all round. I add some chillies and more veg mushrooms peppers etc. Good curry for watching the calories. I have also made it with mascarpone or creme Fraiche when I have no fromage frais and works just as well.

    I doubled the stock, added half teaspoon of tumeric, a tablespoon of coconut milk, a tablespoon of double cream, half teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of crushed chilli. Oh my goodness it was absolutely lovely.

    Made several times now. Lovely flavour and easy enough for my 14yr old daughter to make. Added spinach before adding low fat creme fraiche as I didn't have fromage frais.

    Very nice dish. I added half a teaspoon each of turmeric, cumin and coriander and used creme fraiche as thats what I had in the fridge. Served with basmati rice and naan bread. Result 4 clean plates. Will definitely make again.

    For what is essentially just 7 ingredients, I found the sauce to be lovely. Just as the picture, sweet, cheap, easy and very low calorie. I don't think you can grumble at that! Good for kids because its not at all hot.
