Preparation

Chop the onion finely and cut the chicken breasts into bite-size chunks.
Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

Heat the ghee in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken pieces and cook for another 5 minutes until sealed.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and white pepper.
Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the tomato purée, yogurt, coconut cream, ground almonds, and sugar.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the double cream and remove from heat.

Plating & Serving

Serve the chicken korma hot, garnished with freshly chopped coriander.
Accompany with cooked rice and naan.

Notes

Coconut cream is thicker than coconut milk and can be made by chilling coconut milk and using the solid portion. The korma can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently, adding a little water or cream if needed.
