Let's make it!
Drizzle the chicken with the garam masala, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Massage into the meat and cover, leaving to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, make the korma sauce
- Measure out the spices into a small bowl.
- In a large saucepan heat 3 tablespoons of oil or butter over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add garlic, once the aroma starts coming add sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it begins to darken in color.
- Add the ginger, add the spices and salt.
- Once the onions are brownish and reduced, blend them with almonds, make it a paste.
- Put the paste back to the same pot. Turn the heat down to low and simmer 30 minutes. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan; simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Add cream at the end and brown sugar.
