    Chicken Korma

    Chicken korma over mashed potatoes with a spoon.

    We have a really creamy and tasty Chicken Korma over Mashed Potatoes for you guys today. Our Vegetable Loaded Vegan Korma has been really popular, we decided a chicken version was needed too. :) I love hearty meals like this one. I think it’s the perfect type of comfort food, especially after a long day. I say after a long day because I think this dish gets even better after a day, so you can make it one night, stick it in the fridge and just heat it up he next night when you’re ready to enjoy it.

    I changing up the typical serving suggestion of rice with buttery mashed potatoes, just cause. Really no reason behind it, it just seemed like a good idea, and I’m really glad I did. It makes this hearty dish even more delicious and cozy. I love how the korma is basically like a flavorful gravy for the mashed potatoes! This dish also isn’t very hard to put together at all, it just requires a handful of spices, which you really don’t want to skimp on because they really add all the lovely umami flavor that definitely makes this dish extra yum. Enjoy! xx, Jenny

      I need to make this! Should the chicken be cubed before adding it to the pan?

      Would there be a good replacement for the cashews? Or would it be ok to not include them in the dish?

      I love chicken korma! It is comfort food at its best because it is a little bit spicy but the nuts make it creamy and rich. My favourite.
