Method

  1. Whizz together the ingredients for the paste in a blender or food processor - add a splash of water if you need.
  2. Cook the onion in a splash of water for about 5 mins until softened. Stir in the mince and cook for another 5 mins to brown. Add the paste, cook for 1 min, then pour in 100ml water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins. Add the peas then simmer for a further 5 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, mix together the raita ingredients and season to taste. When the mince is cooked, season and stir through the fresh coriander. Serve with the raita and brown rice, if you like.

    Really great recipe - second time I made it I added some red chilli as well. Instead of putting all the fresh coriander into the curry, I split it in half and stirred it through with the rice - very nice!

    the classical ways is putting bay-leaf, cloves , cinnamon sticks( big ones) cloves and pepper corns, and this replaces the curry power in a way, absolutely real flavours ( and one can add tomato for teh tang) . top it with green coriander.

    This was really tasty, but could definately use more spice & more paste, I used medium curry powder as that was all I had and then also stuck some curry paste in it. The brown rice and raita worked brilliantly.

    Very very disappointing, the raita was acceptable but the meat was seriously lacking in flavour and way more peas than necessary. It was in need of some more spices, I'm not sure what, and salt. I put some in although it wasn't mentioned but it needed even more to make it edible. I can't imagine what it would have been like with no salt and no rice. You'd probably have had to ask the dog. This recipe will be going in the bin.

    So easy, fast and yummy. Added a small bit of nutmeg and curry powder and ground black pepper too. Served it with couscous.

    Very easy to follow although I substituted red chillies for the green, doubled the amount of korma paste and added half a tin of tomatoes.

    Bit bland. Did make double amount of spices, but still a bit boring...
