Directions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and pat dry.
- Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic; grate or mince the ginger.
- Warm a medium pot over medium-high heat, then add a little oil to coat the bottom.
- Add the onion, garlic, and ginger; cook, stirring often, until the onions soften, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the spices and cook briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the tomatoes and add the chicken with salt and pepper; bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- In a separate large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat to start the cauliflower rice; grate or process the cauliflower to a rice-like texture and add to the pot, cooking 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir the heavy cream and almond flour into the chicken mixture; uncover and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Wash, dry, and chop cilantro leaves, reserving a portion for garnish; stir cilantro into the dish after it finishes cooking.
- When the chicken and sauce are done, remove from heat and mix in the remaining cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste.
- To serve, spoon the cauliflower rice onto plates and top with the chicken korma; garnish with reserved cilantro and serve.
Two tips
- Prep the onion, garlic, and ginger ahead to streamline weeknight cooking.
- If you don’t have almond flour, thicken the sauce with a touch more cream or a little extra cooking time.
