Chicken Korma
Some of the most satisfying and flavorful dishes I make in my kitchen
are Indian recipes. Whether it’s a curry, some tandoori chicken, or
some Mulligatawny, these recipes almost end up being a big hit. I was
craving Indian food all day today and decided on this classic, Chicken
Korma. Not only is this dish super packed with creamy flavor, but it’s a
sure fire way to get some tender chicken.
What Is Chicken Korma?

Chicken Korma is a mildly spiced Indian dish with a thick sauce, often
featuring nuts such as almonds or cashews. My recipe uses some
garam masala spice to get that quintessential flavor, bright turmeric,
and creamy almonds. I like to use Greek yogurt for this recipe as it
adds some great tang and packs quite a bit of protein. I’m so excited
to share this with you guys, I know you’ll love it!
Ingredients In Chicken Korma
Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on
the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
 Chicken – I’m using chicken thighs today because I’m looking

for super moist and tender chicken with tons of flavor.
 Tomato passata – This is basically just uncooked tomato puree
that has been strained of seeds and skins. Crushed tomatoes or
tomato sauce will do as well.
 Garlic – I prefer to use fresh, if minced is all you have on hand
just keep in mind that 1 1/2 teaspoons equals one fresh clove.
 Garam Masala – This is an Indian spice blend, definitely pick
some up if you’re looking to make this recipe. I’ve included how to
make your own in the tips section.
 Spices – Turmeric, paprika, and coriander are the rest of the
spices to round off our dish.
 Almonds – This will give flavor, texture, and some great
creaminess to our dish. You can also use cashews.
 Yogurt – I’m using Greek today because it’s my favorite to cook
and bake with. It’s full of protein and acidity.
 Onion – Something that cooks down well, like white or yellow
onion.
 Cream – I use heavy cream in my Korma but if you’re looking to
reduce the fat, feel free. Coconut milk would be a nice addition
here as well.
 Olive oil and Butter – We want both to saute everything off in,
the olive oil will lower the smoke point of the butter to prevent the
butter from burning.
 Seasoning – Along with all the spices we need I also add a bit
of salt, we don’t need too much today.
How To Make Chicken Korma
Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on
the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
 Create a flavor base: Add the passata, garlic, ginger, garam

masala, turmeric, paprika, coriander, salt, almonds and yogurt to
your food processor and mix on high. Toss your chicken in this
paste till it’s well coated and pop covered in the fridge for 1 – 2
hours.
 Create your sauce: Add the olive oil and butter to a large skillet
over medium high heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes or
until they start to brown. Add the chicken to the skillet along with
any leftover mixture you may have. Cook this for 15 minutes and
stir in the heavy cream once the chicken is cooked through.
 Finish the Chicken Korma: Cook for an additional 5 minutes
and serve hot drizzled with some yogurt and over fluffy rice
and naan.

shallow container and be sure it’s completely cooled before popping it
in. It should keep for up to 3 months if frozen, just reheat on the stove
when you’re ready to enjoy it.
