Tips for making Chicken Korma
- I think chicken thighs make the most flavorful Korma, but chicken breast works too if that’s what you prefer
- Don’t skip browning the chicken, this really adds to the finished flavor of the dish
- If you are dairy free you can substitute full fat canned coconut milk instead of heavy cream
- This low carb chicken korma recipe will keep for up to three days in the fridge
Where is Chicken Korma from?
Chicken Korma originates in India and typically consists of meat or vegetables braised with yogurt, or cream, and infused with spices to create a thick sauce.
Back home in the UK Chicken Korma is a wildly popular curry house recipe, due in part to the delicious creamy sauce or ‘gravy’ and because it’s not as hot as some other curries so kids love it too.
