This clean eating chicken korma recipe will satisfy your most intense Indian food cravings!

Oh how I love Indian food. All those rich spices and fabulous aromas.

I fell in love with my ex over Indian food and it’s been a semi-regular staple ever since. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ll be diving into Indian cooking a bit more this fall. Nothing makes the house smell as amazing as spices like curry, garam masala, cardamom and turmeric simmering on the stove in the evening hours. The second people catch a whiff, they seem to gravitate towards the kitchen. It’s an invisible force too powerful to fight. And thank goodness for that! It’s a great way to get the family to the dinner table!

I made this for myself tonight, and loved it! This dish is soooo deliciously rich in flavor. I think next time I will add the spices before I add the chicken just so all the spice is evenly distributed throughout, but I took awhile to get all the spices measured out once the chicken was in the pan… Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I love Indian flavor, more of your adaptations to Indian dishes would be greatly appreciated!!

You can try low fat milk, but it won’t have the same flavor.

I think I might try a freezer-slowcooker version of this. I love my slow cooker and Indian inspired dishes. Thanks 🙂

I made your chicken korma last night and we loved it. I measured the spices for 2 batches and now i can make it again pretty soon without the hassle of that step. I did not use the coconut milk and chicken broth it was still good. I used an 8 oz can of tomato sauce instead.
I used cardamon out of a new jar and the flavor was pretty strong, i may use less next time.
I served it with brown rice and steamed green beans with lemon zest and was a home run even with my 5 year old boy. Who loves all foods.

Hi. I tried your recipe and it was fabulous. My husband is from North India and he is vegetarian so I made it both chicken for me and veggie for him and he went back for seconds! First time he’s done that thankyou. Very wonderful. I added some hing when cooking onions it’s to help make the sauce thick like cornflour n water. Thankyou. Or in punjabi dhanbaad

Hi,
I just want to say thank you for setting up this site.
I am new to clean eating, I’m not much of a chef.
I am very excited to try your recipies.
I made the banana ice cream today- my children hated it but I loved it (they don’t really do sweets).
I will be trying the korma tomorrow.
I really appreciate you putting all of these recipies on here for free for people to try, as your webside address says it’s very gracious of you!
