Best 4 Chicken Cauliflower Korma Recipes

CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER KORMA

Steps:

• Heat 15ml oil in a wide-based casserole. Add the onion and sauté over a medium heat until soft and caramelised, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for a minute or two. Add the Korma paste, tomato paste and chicken pieces. You may need to add a little more oil to coat the chicken. Season with salt and black pepper and pan-fry briefly, just long enough for the chicken to absorb the spice paste flavours. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk and stock. Stir through, cover partially with a lid and simmer for about 35 minutes. Add the cauliflower florets and simmer with the lid off for another 10 -12 minutes. The cauliflower should be fork tender, but not soft and the sauce, thickened. Serve with brown basmati rice, thick yoghurt and fresh coriander, if you like.

CHICKEN KORMA WITH CAULIFLOWER RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• If using the cashews as a garnish, heat a dry skillet over a medium heat and lightly toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Set aside. Add the cauliflower florets to a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is the size of a grain of rice. Don't overcrowd or over-process, the cauliflower may turn to mush. If needed work in batches so you can keep an even consistency. Once the "rice" is made, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking fat in a large sauté pan over a medium heat. Add the cauliflower and season to taste with salt and pepper, stir to mix everything well. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is just tender. Transfer to a bowl, cover to keep warm, and set aside. Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 6 minutes then strain and rinse under cold water. Set aside. Heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of cooking fat over a medium heat. Add the chicken, season to taste with salt and pepper, cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, place all of the ingredients for the korma sauce except for the water into the food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Once the chicken is cooked, add the carrots, potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and peas to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and stir to mix well. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the lemon juice, stir and continue cooking for another 3 minutes. Next, add the sauce and mix. If the consistency is very thick add up to a 1⁄2 cup of water to thin it out. Allow the chicken and vegetables to simmer with the sauce for 5 minutes, or longer if a thicker consistency is desired. Serve the chicken korma over cauliflower rice and sprinkle with toasted cashews, if using.

CHICKEN KORMA

Steps:

• Put 1 chopped onion, 2 roughly chopped garlic cloves and a roughly chopped thumb-sized piece of ginger in a food processor and whizz to a paste.
• Tip the paste into a large high-sided frying pan with 3 tbsp water and cook for 5 mins. Add 4 tbsp korma paste and cook for a further 2 mins until aromatic.
• Stir 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces, into the sauce. Add 50g ground almonds, 4 tbsp sultanas, 400ml chicken stock and ¼ tsp golden caster sugar.
• Give everything a good mix, then cover and simmer for 10 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the pan from the heat, stir in a 150g pot Greek yogurt and some seasoning, then scatter over a small bunch of chopped coriander and more ground almonds, if using. Serve with brown or white basmati rice.

CREAMY VEGGIE KORMA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook onion with the dry spices over a low heat for 5-6 mins until the onion is light golden. Add the chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min, then throw in the mixed vegetables and cook for a further 5 mins.
• Divide the mixture appropriately between two pans if serving vegetarians and meat eaters. Chop the chicken into small chunks and stir into one pan. Add the stock, dividing between the pans appropriately, and simmer for 10 mins (if only cooking the veggie version in one pan, use 300ml stock; if dividing between two pans, add 250ml to each). Divide the peas, if necessary, and add, cooking for 3 mins more until the veg are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove from the heat and stir through the yogurt and ground almonds, if using. Serve sprinkled with the toasted almonds and coriander, with basmati rice or naan bread on the side.
