Delicious easy homemade chicken korma with flatbread or rice recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Chicken breast, boneless and skinless: 1.5 lbs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Onion: 1 large, finely chopped
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger: 1 inch piece, grated
  • Korma curry paste: 4 tablespoons
  • Plain yogurt: 1 cup
  • Chicken broth: 1/2 cup
  • Heavy cream: 1/4 cup
  • Fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped for garnish
  • Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the korma curry paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Step 4: Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until browned on all sides.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the plain yogurt and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with flatbread or rice.

Notes

  • Store leftover korma in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the korma gently over low heat on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Serve your korma with warm naan bread and a side of mango chutney for a truly authentic experience.
  • To enhance the korma's nutty flavor, lightly toast a tablespoon of almond slivers and sprinkle them on top with the cilantro.
