Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the onions.
- Peel and dice the pumpkin.
- Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas.
- Trim the ends of the Chinese peas.
- Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced chicken breasts and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped onions and cook until they become softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the curry paste and cook for another minute to release the flavors.
- Add the diced pumpkin to the pan, stir to combine with the onions and curry paste.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and chicken gravy, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
- Return the browned chicken pieces to the pan.
- Stir in the drained chickpeas.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the Chinese peas to the pan. They should be tender but still crisp.
- Once the korma is ready, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
Tips:
- 1. Marinate the chicken in the curry paste for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavor.
- 2. Be sure to cook the onions until they are golden brown to bring out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
- 3. Cut the pumpkin into small, even-sized pieces to ensure they cook thoroughly and evenly.
- 4. Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas well to remove any excess sodium.
- 5. For added richness, you can stir in a few tablespoons of plain yogurt or coconut milk towards the end of cooking.
- 6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
- 7. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, and additional curry paste for desired heat and flavor.
