#chickenkorma #curryrecipes #indianrecipes
Chicken korma has to be one of Britain’s most loved curries, and rightly so, it’s delicious! Like so many other fantastic dishes this curry originated on the subcontinent of India.
Now, I get it’s January and we are all skint and trying to be a bit healthier, so you’re in luck! My chicken korma is not only yummy, but also cheap as chips and lighter than a lot of curries. There seems to be this misconception that curry has to be unhealthy, when it’s just not the case. Millions of Indians eat curry every single day for breakfast lunch and dinner. You can absolutely make this chicken korma belly busting by adding loads of ghee and cream, but you don’t need to. This recipe gets it’s creamyness from ground cashews, and to keep it lighter I use yoghurt instead of cream. I do believe that actually cream is rarely used in Indian cuisine, and I suspect it’s an adaptation to the western palate. Let me know in the comments if this is true or not.
You can of course use whatever cut of chicken you like for this korma. But after experimenting with both chicken thighs and breast, I found the thigh to be much more flavourful and it has less chance of going dry, which breast can sometimes. If you want this recipe even leaner, then of course use chicken breast (i’d say about 4 large breasts).
