Alright, folks, let’s talk about this chicken korma I whipped up the other night. I was craving something warm and comforting, and this totally hit the spot. It was super easy and quick, which is a huge win in my book.
First things first, I grabbed some chicken breasts. No need to marinate anything beforehand, which saved a ton of time. I just chopped them up into bite-sized pieces. While I was doing that, I got a big pot heating up on the stove with a little oil in it.
Once the oil was hot, I tossed in the chicken and cooked it until it was all nice and browned. Then I added some chopped onions and garlic and let them soften up a bit. That smell, though! It was already starting to smell amazing.
Next up, the spices. I used a pre-made korma curry powder mix. I added the spices to the pot and stirred everything together. This is when the magic really starts to happen. The whole kitchen filled up with this incredible aroma.
- Add spices to the pot.
- Pour in coconut cream.
- Mix everything well.
After letting the spices cook for a minute or two, I poured in a can of coconut cream. I used full-fat coconut cream because I wanted it to be extra rich and creamy. I gave everything a good stir and brought it to a simmer.
Then I just let it simmer away for about 15-20 minutes, until the sauce thickened up and the chicken was cooked through. I like to give it a taste at this point and adjust the seasoning if needed. Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of salt or a little extra spice. But I didn’t need to on this time!
While the korma was simmering, I cooked up some rice. Fluffy basmati rice is my go-to for curries.
Serving it up
Once everything was done, I spooned the korma over the rice and garnished it with some fresh cilantro. And that’s it! A delicious, creamy chicken korma ready in about 30 minutes. It was a total crowd-pleaser, and the best part was, there was barely any cleanup. Perfect for a weeknight meal when you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
So, if you’re looking for a quick and easy curry recipe, give this chicken korma a try. You won’t be disappointed!
