anyway thanks it was nice
and also Vimmy i think u forgot ur tomato 😉
Dear Zonia,
Thanks a lot for bringing it to my notice. You need to add it only if you like the tangy taste more. Yogurt do give a thick gravy. I have now mentioned tomato optional in the post and when it needs to be added if you like it.
Happy Cooking

is almond powder ok Vimmy?
Its ok Zonia….It gives the same effect.
can the almond paste be avoided if not can coconut paste be used
Dear Dipthi……you have to either go for almond paste or cashew nut paste. If we use coconut paste for Chicken Korma, the taste will be different
