chicken korma

Curry is such a wonderful winter comfort food. The warmth of flavour, the heat of chilli, the creaminess of yoghurt, the combination of all those things in your mouth – you just can’t go past it!

This chicken korma recipe is done in the slow cooker. On the days that I’ve left this recipe in the slow cooker before leaving for work, I’ve walked back into the greatest smelling house of all time. Oh. My. Gosh! It’s such an amazing end to the day.

Curry doesn’t have to be unhealthy. It’s all about sticking to a suitable portion size. This recipe offers a good source of protein, a good source of quality carbohydrate and lots of flavour. Serve it with a big bowl of steamed beans, carrots, broccoli and peas and you’ve got yourself a nutritious dinner that will satisfy your soul!
