This is a winner! I mixed chicken tenders and boneless skinless chicken thighs. and I had sliced mushrooms that needed to be used up so yes they went in with the chicken. Also added a tsp or so of a yellow curry powder that I love. It came out absolutely delicious. My older German Shepherd agrees, she is busy cleaning off the plates!

My whole house smells Amazing! Made a few small adaptions, added 1 black and 2 green card pods. 1 star anise, 3 cloves, 2 bay leaves, omitted cumin (added cinnamon instead) and added a tsp yellow curry powder.

This relicipe is honestly a godsend. I love curry and I love indian food but I can't have traditional indian on keto.
The only thing I added to this that wasn't in the recipe is Salt + Pepper, some ground cardamom, and a little more of all the spices to taste. I also added some water to stop it from getting too thick.
All in all, fantastic recipe. Thank you so much!!

I love Korma and have tried out several recipes, this is definitely the best one so far, really rich and creamy. It will be added to my old battered stained recipe book as my definitive Korma recipe from here on.

Would you suggest any other nut-free butters to replace the almond butter?

      Ruth, you can use unsweetened Greek yogurt and 2 tbsp of tomato paste mixed to replace the almond butter, but it won't be dairy-free.
