It's not embarrassing anyway, everyone has to start out at some point.

It's what people give you if they liked a post, or perhaps for good luck etc. Apparently the more karma somebody has received the more points they give.
You can give karma by clicking on the blue karma box at the bottom of somebodys post.

After having read a few threads just recently, I do not think that 'grown up' comes into it
This is like the on-line version of a 'playground'. I love it! Jayne

Not to be confused with Jalfrezi, this dish is suited to those who prefer a milder Indian dish
This dish can easily be obtained from your local Curry House or even the local supermarket (albeit in a microwaveable format)
If you're feeling adventurous, please follow the guide below:
Chicken Korma
Dish Details:low-carb
INGREDIENTS:
iVillage rooster50g natural cashew nuts
3 tbsp sunflower or soya oil
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed, or 2½ tsp garlic paste
2.5cm cube fresh root ginger, peeled and finely grated, or 2½ tsp ginger paste
1 tbsp coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp chilli powder
8 chicken thighs, skinned
75g whole milk natural yoghurt, beaten
140ml single cream
To garnish
1 tbsp toasted flaked almonds
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp salt, or to taste
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
Garlic Rice, to serve
PREPARATION:
1. Put the cashews in a small bowl and pour over 100ml boiling water. Set aside for 15-20 minutes. 2. In a heavy-based pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the bay leaves. Allow to sizzle for 15-20 seconds, then add the onion, garlic and ginger. Fry until the onions are soft and slightly brown (8-9 minutes).
3. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder and pepper. Fry for 30 seconds. Add 50ml hot water. Stir until the water evaporates.
4. Add the chicken. Increase the heat to medium-high. Fry, stirring all the time, until the chicken changes colour.
5. Add the yoghurt, salt and 50ml hot water. Stir and mix thoroughly. Cover the pan tightly, reduce the heat to low and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Put the cashews, along with the water in which they were soaked, into a blender. Add the cream and purée until smooth. Add to the pan.
7. Cover again and simmer for a further 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally (you can simmer uncovered to reduce the sauce if necessary), then remove from the heat and transfer the korma to a serving dish.
8.Garnish with the toasted almonds and sprinkle the paprika over the top. Serve with Garlic Rice.

INFORMATION:
Prep time: 45 minutes
