A creamy and flavorful dish, this Easy Chicken Korma brings a delicious blend of spices and coconut milk together for a comforting, mildly spiced curry. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp korma curry paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken: In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken cubes and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Sauté Spices: In the same pan, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until softened. Stir in the korma paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Make Sauce: Add yogurt and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  4. Combine Chicken: Add the chicken back to the pan, stir, and simmer for 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of curry paste to your preferred spice level.
  • For a richer flavor, let the dish simmer for longer, allowing the spices to infuse the sauce more.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with basmati rice or warm naan bread.
