Chicken Korma Recipe

This chicken korma recipe represents my love for curry and Indian dishes! I love the depths of flavor and spiciness that's so easy to regulate. Whether you like very spicy or mildly spicy, it's easy to achieve with a good curry!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless/skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric or curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (1-inch knob, peeled and minced) or 1 teaspoon dry ground ginger
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock or broth
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

  • In a large refrigerator container with lid, add chicken chunks along with the yogurt, spices, and salt and mix together (all ingredients through salt). Cover and refrigerate one hour.
  • Preheat heavy skillet or Dutch oven (I use cast iron) to medium temperature (5-6) for about 5 minutes.
  • Add oil, garlic, onion, and ginger and cook 5 minutes or until onions begin to turn translucent and brown a bit.
  • Add butter and let melt. Then add chicken chunks to pan along with all the marinating sauce. Cook uncovered on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add almond flour and broth. Mix to incorporate. Turn heat to low-medium (about 3), cover, and cook 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook 8-10 minutes on medium heat (5), stirring occasionally. Mixture should be thickened quite a bit.
  • Turn heat to low, add cream and combine. Cook 5 more minutes uncovered.
  • Let sit in pan uncovered 5-10 minutes before serving (will thicken a bit more).
  • Serve topped with red pepper flakes if desired. Serve over rice or noodles or all by itself. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
