Heat the
butter
in a large pan or wok and cook the
onion
until they become soft. Add the
chicken
and cook until the skins have browned a little.
Add the
korma paste
and
turmeric
or saffron and cook for
1
minute
.
Add the
rice
and stir well. Cook for
1
minute
, allowing the
rice
to absorb the flavours.
Add the
stock
,
yoghurt
,
raisins
and
water
. Bring to the boil. Turn down and simmer with a lid on for
25-30
minutes
. Check every
10
minutes
to make sure it is not sticking to the bottom. You may need to add a little more
water
. Try not to stir too much as the
rice
will become mushy.
At the end of the cooking time, add the
coriander leaves
and
almonds
stirring as little as possible. Do no cook any more.
Serve with warm
naan breads
