Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp ghee or sunflower oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 3 chicken breasts (approx. 525g / 1.1 lbs), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1½ tsp ground coriander
  • 1½ tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp mild chili powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée (paste)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) full-fat plain or natural yogurt
  • ½ cup (120 ml) coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp ground almonds
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 4 tbsp (60 ml) double cream
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander (cilantro)
  • Boiled rice and/or flatbread (such as chapati or naan)

Instructions

  1. Heat the ghee or sunflower oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and translucent.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is sealed and lightly golden.
  3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder (if using), turmeric, salt, white pepper, and tomato purée. Cook for 2 minutes while stirring well to coat the chicken evenly.
  4. Add the yogurt, coconut cream, ground almonds, and sugar. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil before reducing heat to simmer for 6–8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Stir in the double cream and remove from heat.
  6. Spoon the korma over rice or serve alongside warm flatbread. Garnish with fresh coriander (cilantro).
