Ingredients

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon julienned ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound chicken, cooked
1 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala, or to taste
1/4 pint heavy cream
2 teaspoons finely chopped coriander

Directions

Heat oil in a large deep frying pan adding chopped onions and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on a medium heat until the onions are slightly brown. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further 1 or 2 minutes. Add the salt, turmeric and ground cumin.

Turn up the heat and further cook for another 1 minute then add the chicken. It is very crucial that spices are mixed within the pan at this point and stirred to ensure that the chicken cooks with texture and flavor. Add water after stirring the chicken into the spices. Turn down the heat slightly and stir in the garam masala and cream cook for a further 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with green coriander.

Sooo easy and soooo yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This one is a keeper. It was easy enough to throw together on a weeknight and our 3 1/2 year old gobbled it up. I added a... can of chick peas as well as a few blanched potato cubes (plus some extra spices, water and cream since there was more to the dish). Plus, made some brown rice in a rice cooker and threw a package of naan from Whole Foods onto a hot griddle pan. Instant Indian night!Read more

Chicken Korma recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe. Very creamy and flavorful. My two-year old loved it (although he loves curries of any sort). I dare say... obviously better than the jarred versions of Korma, but sadly, some jarred versions have been better than some recipes...but this one is a winner.Read more

Very good!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Quite easy to make and it tasted good. I think it works a bit better of you add the garam masala at the beginning and cook... the spices for a bit longer to allow the flavors to blend a bit more.Read more

Great, easy, chicken korma
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe. Minor modifications I made were to: - grate the ginger with a microplane - use raw chicken breast - use... less water, but cover pot while cooking - substitute yogurt for the heavy cream - add 1/4 cup sliced blanched almonds with the garam masala Don't forget that when they say 'green coriander' they mean cilantro (it's a UK thing.) Also make sure that your garam masala is fresh otherwise the flavor will be bland - ground spices lose their potency quickly. If in doubt use double, there's no (chili)heat in garam masala so you can't spoil things.Read more

this was not a winner. the korma was bland and not at all creamy as it is in restaurants.
