Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs, boneless and skinless, cubed
  • 1 large head Cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt, full-fat and plain
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
  • 3 tbsp Ghee or Clarified Butter
  • 2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 0.5 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 0.25 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, marinate the chicken cubes with half of the yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 25 minutes while you prep the vegetables.

  2. 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets for 8-10 minutes until tender but not mushy. Take 1 cup of the steamed cauliflower and blend it with the remaining yogurt and heavy cream until completely smooth to create the thickening base.

  3. 3

    Heat ghee in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Add the coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, toasting the spices for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes. Pour in the pureed cauliflower and yogurt mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

  5. 5

    Place the remaining steamed cauliflower florets in a serving dish. Pour the creamy chicken korma over the cauliflower 'mac' and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
