Something else. used chicken breast (chopped )instead of thighs,no messy bones - 02 Nov 2010

made this yesterday for family( I'm veggie). They really enjoyed it! I used coconut cream instead of cream as they tend to like coconutty korma and they report it's delish! Also used a little cornflour to thicken sauce a bit. - 30 Apr 2012

As an absolute beginner, with no real coookery experience, I slavishly followed the instructions and surprised everyone in the family with a delicious meal. Brilliant!! - 05 Jan 2011
