Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 sweet onion finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper finely diced
- 1-1 ¼ cup coconut milk lite, divided*
Korma Curry Sauce:
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- ½ teaspoon cardamon
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- ½ teaspoon Coriander
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon sugar or coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup cashews raw
- ⅓ cup almonds raw
- ⅓ cup coconut flakes or shredded, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Jalapeno pepper or cayenne pepper, finely diced
- 1 ½ teaspoons ginger paste
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
To Serve:
- rice cooked, optional
- cilantro optional
- cashews optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl use a whisk to combine garam masala, cardamon, turmeric, coriander, nutmeg, salt, and sugar.
- Add spices, cashews, almonds, coconut, lemon juice, diced jalapeño pepper, garlic, and ginger to the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender. Pulse 10 times and then process for 10-20 seconds, or until ingredients start to form a paste. While still processing, slowly add in ¾ cup coconut milk and process until well combined.
- Place korma sauce in a large bowl with chicken. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, onion, and bell pepper to a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until onions begin to brown slightly.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil and chicken with marinade. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Cover skillet and continue cooking chicken for 12-15 minutes over medium-low heat, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Stir in remaining coconut milk until the curry is to your desired consistency. Serve chicken korma curry over rice or cauliflower rice with additional chopped cashews and cilantro.
Notes
- Cream: Can also use heavy cream or half and half for a more authentic version.
- Nutrition: Nutrition facts are calculated without rice or cauliflower rice.
- Meat: Feel free to use chicken breasts or bone-in chicken thighs with the bones removed.
- Prep-Ahead: You can easily make the korma curry marinade and sauce a couple of days ahead of time. Simply store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Storage: Keep leftover chicken korma in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze cooked korma curry chicken in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 to 4 months. Alternately, you can make the sauce and freeze it separately for up to 9 to 12 months.
- Reheating: Indian curries not only reheat well, but actually taste BETTER as leftovers. The best way to reheat this chicken korma recipe is to add it back into a large skillet, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally. This usually takes between 5-10 minutes.
