A few months back I posted a recipe for a tasty Indian dish called Chicken Tikka Masala, after that I received a lot of requests for the recipe for Chicken Coconut Korma. After much ado, here it is, and believe me when I say it was worth the wait. This dish is so yummy! Many thanks again to Karen for both these recipes!
Ingredients
- CHICKEN SPICE MARINADE:
- 3 chicken breasts sliced thin
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp. turmeric
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne
- Mix this all together about an hour ahead of time.
- CHICKEN COCONUT KURMA:
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil
- 3 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp. turmeric
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne
- 2 medium tomatoes, lightly blended (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
- 4 Tbsp. plain greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 tsp. garam masala (an Indian spice)
Instructions
- Put the chicken (that has been marinating in the spices) into a large fry pan over medium heat until cooked through.
- In a large sauce pan, put the oil, garlic, and ginger over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Then add the remaining spices (except salt and masala) and simmer for another minute. After that, add the tomatoes and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the yogurt and blend in with a wire whisk. Then add the cooked chicken pieces, the 3/4 cup water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut milk and garam masala then simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes fairly thick. Serve with rice.

I made this tonight and it was AMAZING!!!! Of course I had to add a sliced onion in with the ginger and garlic and it was so good! ALSO.. if you are using "light" coconut milk.. reduce the water to 1/4 c.. That's what we did and it was perfect.
Thanks Ems!!!
Oh so good! I just found your website and I love it! I had found it before with cafe rio stuff but didn't know where to find it again and then pinterest came along. This was delicious. Add cashews and golden raisins and I think it would be really close to the Bombay House's recipe as well! Thank you for a great recipe! I'm excited to try more!
I can totally handle spicy hot stuff, but this was SOOOO spicy. Next time I'll make it with just a "dash" of cayenne anywhere the recipe calls for a specific measurement. I was sweating bullets and my nose was running after a few minutes. But that said, it's DELICIOUS!!!! I WILL make it again, just with less kick. I love Indian food and I think this is just as good as any restaurant, at a fraction of the cost. So good.
We love Bombay House (just went there over Christmas) I only eat their vegetarian fare. Do you have any recipes for their vegetarian stuff?
We love Bombay House! Do you have any recipes for their vegetarian stuff?
Not yet, I am going to have to go there and try a vegetarian dish. I do however have some amazing Indian Coconut Rice and Yogurt Dip that will be in our upcoming cookbook this fall!
Thank you for all of the great recipes! Any chance you know how to make The non coconut version of this dish? I would kill for that recipe! I have been trying to prepare something close to at for years.
I would just substitute the coconut milk for heavy cream.
excellent, thanks a ton!
