Indian Baby Food Recipes - Chicken Korma
1 chicken breast, cut into 1" pieces
2 tbsp safflower oil
1 tbsp ghee*
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
pinch ground ginger
6 whole cloves
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 bay leaf
pinch ground coriander
2 oz (1/4 cup) plain, unsweetened yogurt
1 fl oz (1/8 cup) water
1 fl oz (1/8 cup) milk

*Ghee is clarified butter, sometimes known as "drawn butter". It is normal butter that has been treated to remove its' "non-fat" elements. This process makes it a better cooking medium.
To make ghee, melt regular butter gently in a strong saucepan. You will see the butter-fat separating and the milk solids sinking to the bottom of the pan. A white foam will form on top - simply turn off the heat and remove the foam with a spoon. You are then left with clarified butter!

In a large frying pan, heat the butter and oil, then saute the onions for about 10 mins, until tender.
Add the cardamom, ginger, cloves and bay leaf.
Saute until the onions are brown (about 5 mins).
Slowly add the yogurt and coriander to the pan, stirring constantly.
Once the yogurt is absorbed, add the chicken and cook until golden.
Add the water, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 mins.
Stir in the milk, then remove from the heat.
Allow to sit for a while - this improves the flavour.
Don't forget to remove the bay leaf and cloves before mashing and serving with white or brown rice (overcook the rice slightly, so it is nice and mushy for baby).
