1 cup plain yogurt

1 teaspoon minced garlic

In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Add the chicken pieces and any excess marinade to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.

 

Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

 

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

 

Serve over rice and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your homemade chicken korma!
