I read several recipes for Kashmiri and wasn't happy with most if them as they didn't include bananas. So I made one up.
The instructions, on the other hand, are based on the Korma recipe of the Indian cookbook as it had been a huge success when I tried it.
Hints / Tips : I listed the ingredients on groups to make it easier to read. I put all my ground spices in a cup before adding them to the bowl, I found it more convenient.
If you find chicken is a bit boring, you can try it with lamb or prawns and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Will most definitely cook this one again !
