Indian Chicken Korma Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into chunks and marinated in a smooth paste made by blending tomato paste, fresh ginger, garlic, garam masala, crushed red pepper, paprika, ground cardamom, turmeric, almonds, salt, and Greek yogurt. Marinating allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
Cooking begins by caramelizing diced onions in canola oil and butter over medium-high heat. The marinated chicken is then added and cooked until fully done. Finally, heavy cream is incorporated to enrich the sauce, balancing spices with creaminess and creating a rounded texture.
Serve the korma with rice or flatbreads to absorb the sauce. The use of almonds in the marinade adds subtle nuttiness and body, while the cooking method ensures tender chicken and a sauce that clings well. The balance of spices delivers warmth without overwhelming heat, suitable for those who prefer moderately spiced Indian dishes.
