Classic Chicken Korma

On the HobSlow Cooker
serves 4

This Classic Chicken Korma is smooth, aromatic, and deeply comforting. Chicken is simmered in a gently spiced onion base with yogurt, cream, and ground almonds for that signature silky texture.

You can cook it quickly on the hob or let it mellow in the slow cooker. Both methods produce a rich, family-friendly curry that pairs perfectly with rice or naan.
