Recipe in Progress: Chicken Korma

Today we tried a recipe for chicken korma from the Easy Indian Cookbook: The Step-by-Step Guide to Deliciously Easy Indian Food at Home. If it had just been a recipe for a chicken curry I think it would have been OK--but this didn't really taste like a korma to me. It wasn't rich or luscious the way I had hoped. Apparently you can make kormas in a few different ways, using coconut milk or cream or something else to add richness. This recipe used coconut milk. I think Ben and I are going to fiddle around with this recipe until it's just right. We decided next time we are going to add some cream in addition to the coconut milk. Also, I think I'll throw in some veggies next time, Maybe peas. Just chicken seems a little bland, like the dish is crying out for some bright colors!
