This easy chicken korma is rich, creamy, and full of warm, aromatic flavor without being overly spicy. Tender chicken simmers in a silky sauce made with korma paste, ground almonds, stock, and Greek yogurt for a comforting curry that's perfect for weeknights.
Place the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger in a food processor and blend until smooth, adding a small splash of water if needed to help it come together.
Transfer the onion mixture to a large deep frying pan or saute pan with 3 tbsp water. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly reduced.
Stir in the korma paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces and stir well so they are evenly coated in the spiced mixture.
Mix in the ground almonds, sultanas, chicken stock, and sugar. Stir until combined.
Cover the pan and let the curry simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Take the pan off the heat and let it sit for 1 minute so the yogurt does not split. Stir in the Greek yogurt, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Finish with chopped coriander and extra ground almonds, if you like, and serve with basmati rice.
If you prefer, use boneless skinless chicken thighs for a juicier result. Stir the yogurt in off the heat to keep the sauce smooth, and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
