Indulge in Homemade Chicken Korma: A Nutritious Delight

I grew up consuming all kinds of foods as a child, from Chinese, Thai, burger and fries, fish n’ chips to Hawaiian and Meatlovers pizza! For many years, particularly during my late teens and early twenties, I tended to avoid many of these types of foods out of fear of gaining weight. However, as soon as I was introduced to the concept of “flexible dieting” around 2010, I discovered that I could easily fit many of these delicious meals into a healthy balanced diet.

Naturally, I began reintroducing them wherever possible. After moving to the USA and having some wonderful Indian cuisine experiences with friends, my love for Indian food was reinvigorated. I then sought out a few staple simmer sauces and some simple naan recipes to help keep this love alive. One such dish that has become a favorite in my kitchen is Chicken Korma.
