Chicken Korma
Description
This recipe cooks bite-sized chicken breast pieces with finely chopped onions sautéed in olive oil. Korma paste is stirred in to coat the chicken, and coconut milk is added to create a rich curry sauce. After simmering until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens, Greek yogurt is folded in, giving the dish a marbled appearance and creamy consistency without adding fat.
The flavor is mild and fragrant due to the korma paste and coconut milk blend, while the texture is tender with a smooth sauce. Sprinkling desiccated coconut on top adds a slight texture contrast and enhances the coconut flavor.
Serve with rice to complement the stew-like curry. The recipe can be adjusted by adding chili flakes for extra heat if desired. It can also be prepared in a slow cooker, making it flexible for different kitchen setups.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for two days and can be frozen up to three months, making this dish convenient for batch cooking.
