Recipe Tips
- If you find yourself liking this chicken korma recipe, then I recommend making the dry spice mix in bulk. That way you can quickly measure (2 Tbsp) what you need for this recipe.
- You can also do this chicken korma recipe in the slow cooker with very few alterations. I do recommend reducing the amount of chicken stock unless you want a soup-like curry.
- If you love your curries hot, then try increasing the chili to one tablespoon or more. I found one tablespoon was enough to set my mouth on fire, but this still might not be enough for some people.
- You can use any cut of chicken for this dish, but I would stick to something like chicken breast or thigh.
