Korma recipe coconut milk

Creamy, spiced Chicken Korma is the stuff dreams are made of. Loosen up those pants and make this delectable Indian dish at home!

In the interest of full disclosure, I feel that I must confess to you that this is NOT a “light” recipe.

But it is worth it.

Seriously, you guys. Trust me on this one.

Chicken Korma is one of those magical dishes that seems to fill up 95% of my plate whenever I visit an Indian food buffet. It is rich, creamy, full of spices and flavor, and just begs to be soaked up by a piece of fresh naan. If you’ve never tried your hand at making Indian food at home, this should definitely be your starter recipe. It’s much easier than you’d think, as long as you have a few basic Indian spices in your pantry.

The chicken does like to marinate for a while, so get it set in the morning before heading to work.

I know that the ingredient list looks a bit long but DON’T FREAK OUT.

Most of it is spices, and if you are missing any of them I’d highly suggest investing a few dollars into a bottle so you can cook more international meals at home! I love, which you can find in the organic foods section of most stores or order from Amazon. Nothing will open up your kitchen to more possibilities than a well-stocked spice cabinet!

Here’s a containing all of the spices needed to make Korma!
