  • 1 tbsp cold-pressed oil

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts (12-16oz), chopped into chunks

  • 2 onions, sliced

  • 1 tsp honey

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 500ml full-fat Greek yogurt

  • Bunch fresh coriander, leaves roughly chopped

  • 20g coconut flakes

  • Steamed basmati and wild rice, and lime wedges to serve or cauliflower rice

For the spice paste

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. For the spice paste, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garam masala and turmeric for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a mini food processor or pestle and mortar and grind to a powder. Add the rest of the spice paste ingredients and 50ml water, then whizz or pound until well combined.

  3. Turn down the heat to medium, then add the sugar, salt and yogurt. Stir well and simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, then stir in the coriander, reserving a little to garnish.

  4. Sprinkle the korma with a little toasted coconut and chopped coriander, then serve with rice and lime wedges.
