Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp ghee or sunflower oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 chicken breasts (approx. 525g), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1½ tsp ground coriander
  • 1½ tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp mild chili powder (optional, for gentle warmth)
  • 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 (heavy) 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 they soften and turn translucent.
  2. Next, add the chicken pieces to the pan. Cook them for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are sealed and lightly golden.
  3. Stir in garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder (if using), turmeric, salt, white pepper, and tomato purée. Cook everything together for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add yogurt, coconut cream, ground almonds, and sugar into the mix. Stir well until combined. Bring it all to a gentle boil; then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 6–8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Once your chicken is cooked through, stir in the double cream to add richness before removing from heat.
  6. Spoon generous amounts of korma over rice or alongside warm flatbread and garnish with fresh coriander.
