Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Save time by using shop-bought korma curry paste rather than making your own.
  • I always keep a few packets of frozen king prawns in my freezer so I'm never too far away from easy, delicious meals like this!
  • Use a mini chopper to chop the onion, garlic, ginger and coriander stalks.
 
Variations:
  • Like your curry spicy? Use a hotter curry paste such as tikka or madras, and add 1 chopped red chilli with the garlic and onion.
  • Use coconut cream instead of double cream.
  • Add fresh vegetables to the curry such as sliced mushrooms, baby spinach or cubed sweet potato.
  • Bulk the curry out by adding a tin of drained chickpeas.
 
Storage:
Store: leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
Reheat: place leftovers in a microwave-safe dish and microwave until piping hot.
Freeze: allow the curry to cool then place in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
