Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
8 chicken thighs
800g
1 onion
160g
1/2 cup curry paste
120g
1/2 cup chicken gravy
100g
1 cup green beans
230g
1/3 cup greek yogurt
80g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces if not already prepared.
- Skin and debone the chicken thighs if not already done.
2. Sear the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned but not cooked through.
- Once seared, transfer the chicken to your slow cooker.
3. Sauté the Onion:
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

4. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker:
- Add the sautéed onions to the slow cooker with the chicken thighs.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of curry paste and 1/2 cup of chicken gravy.
- Add the green beans to the slow cooker.
5. Cook:
- Stir everything gently to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the curry paste and other ingredients.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
6. Finish with Greek Yogurt:
- About 10 minutes before serving, gently stir in the 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt.
- Let the dish continue to cook for the final 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve:
- Once done, give the korma a final stir.
- Serve the chicken korma hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
- Enjoy with naan bread or rice.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the curry paste for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

- If you prefer a spicier korma, add some chopped green chilies or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the curry paste.

- Make sure to sauté the onion until it is soft and golden to bring out its sweetness before adding it to the slow cooker.

- For a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it into the korma about 30 minutes before serving.

- Feel free to add other vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, or peas to make the dish more hearty and nutritious.

- Serve the korma with basmati rice or warm naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Cooking chicken korma in a slow cooker not only simplifies the process but also intensifies the flavors, making it an irresistible dish. The chicken becomes extremely tender, and the sauce develops a depth of flavor that is truly comforting. This dish pairs well with rice or naan bread and can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences. Give this recipe a try for a delightful meal that your whole family will enjoy.
