Notes

  • Store leftover chicken korma in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the korma gently over low heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent drying out.
  • Serve your korma with a side of mango chutney and a dollop of extra yogurt for added flavor and creaminess.
  • To prevent the yogurt from curdling, ensure the chicken is not too hot before adding it, and simmer gently instead of boiling.
