Indian Chicken Korma


Easy Chicken Korma

How do you make a chicken korma?

This easy Chicken Korma recipe is made using a spiced yogurt marinade, butter cooked chicken and onions that is lightened with cream. Apart from time it marinates, the curry can be made in just 45 minutes.

Is a korma a curry?

Yes, korma is an Indian Curry dish made with garam masala.

What vegetables can you put in a chicken korma?

The classic chicken korma recipe includes onions, garlic and ginger but red bell peppers, carrots or potatoes would work well in the dish as well as they’d complement the lighter flavors of the korma curry.

Can you substitute coconut milk?

Absolutely. If you have a preference for coconut milk to heavy cream you can add it in. I prefer heavy cream personally for it’s richness and because it doesn’t compete with the flavors of the spices in the chicken korma.
What can I substitute for Garam Masala seasoning? You can make your own! Here’s a great homemade version for you:

Homemade Garam Masala Recipe:

3 1/2 tablespoons ground cardamom
2 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons ground cloves
3 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
Add the spices to a dry skillet and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently until you can smell the spices.
Let them cool before adding them to a covered container to use within 2 months.
