Afghan-style chicken korma with dried sour plums image

Add dried sour plums to this Afghan-inspired curry to impart an interesting salty, sour flavour. If you can't get them, use dried sour cherries instead

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

chana dhal
dried sour plums, or 100g dried sour cherries
sunflower oil
8 chicken bone-in pieces (use thighs if you like), skin removed
onion, finely chopped
ginger, peeled and finely chopped
garlic cloves, finely chopped
ground turmeric
tomatoes, chopped
green chillies, halved, deseeded and finely sliced
Greek yogurt
chicken stock (or use water)
red chilli, finely sliced
coriander
lime wedges
flatbreads or cooked rice

Steps:

  • Put the chana dhal in a bowl, cover with water and leave to soak for 3 hrs. Meanwhile, put the dried plums or cherries in a second bowl, cover with warm water and leave to soak for 1 hr.
  • Heat the oil in a deep 30cm frying pan, and brown the chicken pieces in batches, seasoning as you go. Transfer the browned chicken to a bowl as you cook.
  • Add the onions to the pan and fry over a medium-low heat for 8-10 mins until soft and pale gold. This takes a bit of time. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook for another 3 mins, then add the turmeric. Stir everything together until the spices are fragrant.
  • Drain the chana dhal and tip into the pan along with the tomatoes and chillies. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes have collapsed slightly. Stir in the yogurt, stock and some more seasoning. Return the chicken pieces and any resting juices to the pan, then drain the plums and mix these in. Bring everything to just under the boil (it's important that the mixture doesn't fully boil, or the yogurt will curdle), then turn the heat down to low. Cover and cook for about 15 mins, then remove the lid and cook for 15-20 mins more until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has thickened.
  • Scatter over the sliced chillies and coriander, then serve with lemon or lime wedges, and flatbreads or rice.

Tips:

  • When making the sauce, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent burning.
  • If you don't have a yogurt maker, you can make your own yogurt by heating milk to 180°F (82°C), then stirring in a yogurt starter culture. Let the mixture sit in a warm place for 8-12 hours, or until it has thickened.
  • To make the chicken more tender, marinate it in the yogurt mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a tandoori oven, you can cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the korma with rice, naan, or roti.
