Whole30 Chicken Korma

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

This fabulous chicken korma recipe is my take on an Indian dish of chicken simmered in a bath of ginger, garlic, onions, spices, coconut cream & tomato sauce. This easy recipe is dairy free, paleo and Whole30 compliant!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Put chicken in a bowl, Tupperware container or gallon freezer bag and marinate with coconut cream/yogurt and spices. Set aside. 

  2. Heat up a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add ghee and allow it to melt completely. Add onions and cook until completely dark golden-brown. Be very careful not to burn them, as they will begin to get dark after 10-15 minutes. 

  3. Add ginger and garlic and sauté for a few more minutes. 

  4. Add all spices (except mustard seed) and let them bloom for a minute. Add your chicken mixture and briefly stir-fry to coat chicken with the masala you’ve made. I left my thighs whole during this process, and I recommend it.

Chef's Notes


Mustard seed: Feel free to use fenugreek instead of mustard seed powder. I just had a hard time finding it at my local grocery store.
Chicken thighs: You can dice your chicken up after it has cooked or leave it as is. It'll be so soft, I wouldn't worry too much about it!

Oh! This recipe is SO good! I baked a whole chicken using the chicken seasonings. Yummy! The sauce was a bonus & oh so yummy on leftover spaghetti squash (that had already been seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper& olive oil).

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
