How to make Jamie Oliver chicken korma in 30 minutes

Writer's picture: discroloconsonatusdiscroloconsonatus


After 20 years of trying (and I'm only 32!!) I have finally come up with a really successful chicken korma recipe. This is a cross between a few recipes I've used over the yearswith other tweaks here and there. This is the closest to my favourite curry house's version I've ever made. Let me know what you think.I think that using ghee (as opposed to veg. oil) is important, as is pureeing the onion.


Well, Master Spice certainly appreciated this curry. He loved it and even asked for seconds. I'm always delighted when I discover a recipe that one of my kids loves and at the moment this is certainly his favourite curry, along with my chicken tikka masala recipe!

I love how easy this chicken curry recipe looks. And I love Jamie Oliver! Going back to revisit recipes is something I do often as well. Finding curry leaves in my area is not easy but I would search them out for this because I love chicken curry. Good post!


My neighbors are from Bangladesh and they make the best chicken curry. I would be so hesitant to try to replicate it but your recipe looks like something I can manage. We love the flavor of curry and this dish sounds wonderful.


Put a large pan over a medium heat, and add the butter and oil.\nOnce the oil is hot, put in the cinnamon stick, bay leaves, cardamom\u00a0pods and star anise. Heat until the spices darken slightly.\nBlitz the garlic and ginger in a food processor, and add a little\u00a0water\u00a0so that they form a paste, then add this to the pan with the salt.\u00a0Cook gently over a low heat for 10 minutes.\nNow add the onions and cook gently for another 20 minutes. Add\u00a0the 200ml water and continue to cook gently until the onions melt\u00a0down completely. To help the process along you can use a potato\u00a0masher.\nBe sure to keep stirring and making sure the bottom doesn\u2019t catch.\u00a0What you don\u2019t want to do is colour the onions. Add water 100ml\u00a0at a time if it starts to catch.\nNow add the chicken to the pan, cover and leave it to cook over\u00a0a medium heat, which should take around 15 minutes. Once the\u00a0chicken is cooked, add the eggs and cook for 10 minutes more.\u00a0Finally, add the split green chillies.\nThis is best served with hot basmati rice.\n", "recipeCuisine": "Indian", "name": "Bengali Korma", "recipeIngredient": "Chicken", "recipeCategory": "Dinner, Main Course", "recipeYield": [ "Serves 4", "Serves 4" ], "description": "Nadiya's Bengali Korma recipe uses tasty, and affordable, chicken on the bone to maximise the flavours of traditional Korma, producing a dish that is a world away from the bland fare often found in restaurants.", "datePublished": "2016-08-31T14:10:34+01:00", "keywords": "Easy, Family Friendly, Freezer Friendly", "image": "https:\/\/thehappyfoodie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bengali-korma_s900x0_c677x395_l0x330.png", "dateModified": "2021-08-19T16:31:55+01:00", "author": "url": "https:\/\/thehappyfoodie.co.uk\/chefs\/nadiya-hussain\/", "name": "Nadiya Hussain", "@context": "http:\/\/schema.org", "@type": "Person" , "@context": "http:\/\/schema.org", "@type": "Recipe"}var dataLayer_content = "pageTitle":"Bengali Korma","pagePostType":"recipes","pagePostType2":"single-recipes","pagePostDate":"August 31, 2016","pagePostDateYear":"2016","pagePostDateMonth":"08","pagePostDateDay":"31","pagePostDateDayName":"Wednesday","pagePostDateHour":"14","pagePostDateMinute":"10","pagePostDateIso":"2016-08-31T14:10:34+01:00","pagePostDateUnix":1472652634,"pagePostTerms":"main_ingredients":["Chicken"],"dishes":["Curry"],"recipe_types":["Dinner","Main Course"],"cuisines":["Indian"],"feature_categories":["Make it tonight"],"recipe_tags":["Easy","Family Friendly","Freezer Friendly"],"postCountOnPage":1,"postCountTotal":1;dataLayer.push( dataLayer_content );(function(w,d,s,l,i)[];w[l].push('gtm.start':new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js');var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src='//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.'+'js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);)(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-PPVMQJ3');(function(h,o,t,j,a,r)h.hj=h.hj)(window,document,'//static.hotjar.com/c/hotjar-','.js?sv=');#spu-bg-11780 background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);#spu-11780 .spu-close font-size: 30px;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);text-shadow: 0 1px 0#000;#spu-11780 .spu-close:hover color: #000;#spu-11780 background-color: rgb(227, 226, 219);max-width: 726px;border-radius: 0px;height: auto;box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 0px #ccc;#spu-11780 .spu-container border: 2px solid;border-color: #000;border-radius: 0px;margin: 0px;padding: 40px;height: calc(100% - 0px);

Nadiya's Bengali Korma recipe uses tasty, and affordable, chicken on the bone to maximise the flavours of traditional Korma, producing a dish that is a world away from the bland fare often found in restaurants.


This one-skillet chicken korma curry is very delicious and warming meal, that you can make all year round. I love using chicken thighs or whole chicken legs, but you can also use chicken breast if you want. I find that the thighs are moister and give your chicken korma more flavor. Just remove the bones and skins (freeze them and use to make slow cooker chicken stock later on).
