Easy Creamy Chicken Korma
Easy Creamy Chicken Korma
Tender chicken in a silky, gently spiced coconut sauce makes this easy korma wonderfully comforting without being heavy or fiery.
⏱️ Prep, Cook & Serve
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Cook time: 30 minutes
- Serves: 4
🧂 Ingredients
- 600g boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp Korma Masala
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 400ml coconut milk
- 150ml chicken stock
- 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
- Fresh coriander, to serve
- Basmati rice and naan, to serve
🔪 Method
- Toss the chicken with 1 tbsp Korma Masala.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate.
- Cook the onion gently for 6–8 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, ginger and remaining Korma Masala, then stir for 30 seconds.
- Return the chicken and pour in the coconut milk and stock. Simmer uncovered for 18–20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Take the pan off the heat, stir in the yoghurt and finish with coriander. Serve with rice and naan.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Add peas or baby spinach for extra vegetables.
- Serve with mango chutney and cucumber salad.
- Use chicken breast if preferred, reducing the simmer slightly to keep it tender.
💛 Why It Works
Korma Masala brings warm aromatic depth while coconut milk and yoghurt create the mild, creamy sauce that makes korma such a family favourite.
✨ Cook’s Tip
Let the sauce simmer uncovered so it thickens naturally, and add the yoghurt away from direct heat to keep it smooth.
