Chicken Korma – Sprinkles and Sprouts
Serving Suggestions
What to eat with Chicken Korma
Chicken Korma is all about that rich, creamy sauce, so it’s perfect with something that can soak it all up. Fluffy basmati rice is a classic choice and is super easy to make.
I think my kids may cry if I didn’t serve some warm naan or roti. They are essential for scooping up every last bit of sauce. Garlic Naan is our choice or a spicy Bullet Naan.
If you want to round things out, try adding a side of kachumber salad to balance the richness. And some crispy poppadoms can turn it into a proper curry night feast!
What to drink with Chicken Korma
If you’re in the mood for wine, this Korma pairs beautifully with aromatic whites. Look for a slightly off-dry Riesling or a fruity Pinot Gris. Both have enough body to stand up to the creamy sauce while offering a gentle sweetness that balances the spices. My favorite option is a Gewürztraminer; I enjoy the floral notes and think it balances beautifully with the spices and rich sauce.
If you prefer red, go for something light and low in tannins. A Pinot Noir served slightly chilled can work really well, or try a Gamay for its fruity, easygoing style. Avoid bold, heavy reds—they can clash with the gentle flavors of the curry.
Beer is a classic match for curry. A crisp lager or a light wheat beer helps cut through the richness of the sauce, keeping everything feeling fresh. For something with a bit more flavor, a mild pale ale or a Belgian-style blonde can be a fun choice, too.
If you’re looking for a midweek non-alcoholic option, consider a sparkling lime and mint soda, ginger beer, or a glass of iced tea with a squeeze of lemon to help cleanse the palate and balance the richness of the korma.
