Do you have a recipe for a proper creamy chicken Korma?

I really want to make myself a proper curry house chicken korma (I know I could just go to a curry house, but cooking it is half the fun) and have tried out a few recipes, but they all seem to be a little too spicy and sharp to be the chicken Korma I like. I think they are more like the traditional Indian korma, rather than the British version I am used to and want.

The kind of chicken korma I am after is the one which is mild, creamy in consistency and quite sweet.

Update:

lol. I love it that two people found the same recipe. I bet you just searched 'creamy chicken korma' and copied out the first one you found. I found it days ago, this is the website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/creamychickenkor...

What I really want is a tried and tested recipe that you can recommend.

Update 2:

Where can I find the 'Mr Huda's Universal Curry Paste'

    4 whole cloves

    4 cardamom pods, crushed

    4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

    3 garlic cloves, crushed

    4 cm/1½in piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated

    1 tsp ground coriander

    ¼ tsp ground allspice

    1½ tsp ground cumin

    ½ tsp ground turmeric

    1 tsp mild chilli pepper

    2 tsp tomato purée

    75g/3oz ground almonds

    salt and freshly ground black pepper

    50g/2oz flaked almonds, toasted

    Scatter over the toasted almonds and serve with naan bread.

    Stage 1 (Puree)

    • Cut 1 onion into 1/4's, cut the tomatoes into 1/2's, chop the green pepper, ginger (peeled), garlic clove, and a little coriander.

    • Put the above in a small sauce pan together with 4 tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp turmeric, salt and cup of warm water (around 200/250 ml) covered with lid.
