Coley Korma Jamie Oliver Food

KORMA

Steps:

• Recipe kindly shared by the Tesco Community Cookery School with Jamie Oliver. The recipe has been written to be flexible and scalable up to 50 portions. Note: all veg weights are for trimmed, prepped vegetables.
• Cut the chicken, lamb or beef into bite-size chunks.
• Peel (or trim) and roughly chop the alliums.
• Place a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients on a medium heat with the oil.
• Add the alliums, meat, curry powder and smoked paprika. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the meat and alliums are golden and softened, stirring frequently.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop the veg, keeping any leafy greens (if using) to one side for later.
• Add the chopped veg (except the leafy greens, if using) to the pan and cook with a lid on for a few minutes, or until softened.
• Note the liquid level in the pan, then pour in the curry and white sauces and 750ml of water.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 35 minutes.
• Check that the meat is cooked through and tender - if not, add a splash more water and continue cooking until soft.
• Add the reserved leafy veg (if using). Bring back to the boil, and cook until the curry has reduced - the liquid should return to the same level as in step 8.
• Stir in the yoghurt until just warmed through.
• Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
