Very yummy. I made it with single cream. Next time I'll leave out the butter as don't really need it. I'll increase the Quorn peices quantity to 400gms as a lot of sauce got left over. Easy to make...

Not had a korma in years, but what an excellent recipe. Really, really simple as well. For my own taste (and frugality :) I dropped the amount of cream and upped the coconut milk for 2 reasons. Firstly the can of coconut milk was 400ml (I cooked a double batch, so would have required 300ml) and I did find it a little too creamy (is there such a thing?!) the first time I cooked it. Definitely my new favourite curry.

I’m obsessed! Cooked for a lot of my meat-eater friends and they are now asking me for the recipe! I don’t add coriander and it tastes amazing!
