Other
7.05 oz (200 g) rice

Directions
Marinated chicken
- Before we do anything, start by boiling your rice after packaging instructions.
- While rice cooks, slice chicken into strips with your razor sharp KUMA kitchen knife.
- Crush the garlic between the cutting board and the side of your knife’s blade so you can easily peel it, and then slice it to fine pieces.
- With your KUMA Paring Knife gently slice the peel off the fresh ginger and then cut into fine pieces.
- Mix chicken, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and oil with spices.
- Heat up a pan with a bit of oil. Cook mixture until chicken is done and then put it aside.
Korma sauce
- Use a hand blender to blend onion and ginger into a purée.
- Heat up a pot with a bit of oil. Sauté the purée on medium heat.
- Add tomato purée and garam masla.
- Add coconut milk, mix well, and let the sauce boil.
- Taste with salt and pepper.
Serving
- Now add the chicken into the sauce.
- Grab your KUMA kitchen knife again (KUMA Chef’s Knife or KUMA Santoku) and chop almonds and fresh parsley.
- Serve in bowls with rice in bottom, then Korma sauce with chicken, and top off with chopped almonds and parsley.
