Goat's Milk Chicken Korma
A mild, spiced curry utilizing goat's milk instead of heavy cream or yogurt.
By Aunesty Janssen · The Arrogant Hippie Culinary Journal: Goat's Milk Edition
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ghee or neutral oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1 cup whole goat's milk, room temperature
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Method
- Heat the ghee in a pot over medium heat and sauté the onion until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute more.
- Stir in the garam masala, turmeric, and cumin and toast 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chicken and cook until sealed on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and ground almonds, cover, and simmer over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-18 minutes.
- Remove from direct heat and stir in the goat's milk gradually. Season with salt, warm through gently, and garnish with cilantro before serving.
Kitchen note
The tomato's acidity is buffered by the ground almonds and the low, gentle heat — both help keep the goat's milk from splitting in this curry.
