It took a little bit of experimentation to get this chicken korma recipe to taste exactly the way I wanted to it. Creamy, but not cloying, mild but not flavourless. I really wanted it to stand out as a curry the adults would love, as well as the kids, but also for it to be quick and simple. This certainly won’t disappoint. No marinating needed, no removing bits from the pan and adding them back later – just adding ingredients to build up the flavours, then letting it simmer for a few minutes before serving.
📋 Ingredients
Coconut Cream – Coconut cream is thicker than coconut milk, with a higher fat content. You can use the little tins of coconut cream or use creamed coconut blocks mixed with a little hot water to make coconut cream. I use the coconut blocks for this recipe.If you only have coconut milk, you can chill the tin overnight, then open the tin and use the solid portion at the top of the tin, leaving the liquid behind.

🍽️ What to serve it with
This goes perfectly on a bed of Fluffy White Rice or Pilau Rice. And mop up the rest of that creamy sauce with Homemade Flatbread, Garlic Naan, or Peshwari Naan. Or why not with a side of Onion Bhajis and Mango Chutney?
Serve topped with a little freshly torn coriander (cilantro). Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe. I’m also on YouTube (new videos every week) and Instagram (behind-the-scenes stories & beautiful food photos).
