Description

Creamy slow cooker chicken korma with coconut milk, cashews, and warming spices—perfect for an easy, comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • ½ cup korma paste (or 2–3 tbsp curry paste mixed with garam masala, cardamom, and cumin)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, full-fat or light
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp mango chutney
  • ½ cup cashews, soaked and blended with ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp ground almonds
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
  • ½ cup yogurt (optional)
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas or 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Cut into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt.
  2. Optional marination: Coat chicken in yogurt, garam masala, and lemon juice. Rest 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Layer flavors: Add chicken, korma paste, onions, garlic, ginger, and blended cashew mixture into the slow cooker.
  4. Add liquids & thickeners: Stir in coconut milk, tomato paste, and ground almonds.
  5. Vegetable add-ins: Toss in chickpeas or cubed sweet potato for extra heartiness.
  6. Set & forget: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until chicken is tender.
  7. Finish & adjust: Stir in mango chutney, raisins (optional), and garam masala before serving.
  8. Thicken if needed: Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir in, or cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  9. Serve: Spoon over basmati rice, scoop with naan, or enjoy with cauliflower rice for a lighter version.

Notes

Swap mango chutney with honey or orange juice for sweetness. Use monk fruit for a keto-friendly version. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
