Chicken korma calories and macros

One katori of chicken korma (150 g) has roughly 320 calories, with about 19 g protein, 9 g carbohydrate, and 23 g fat. Korma is the rich, mild member of the chicken family: chicken simmered in a gravy built on yogurt, cream, and ground cashew or almond, which is exactly where its high fat and calories come from. The chicken still delivers a strong 19 g of protein, but the luxurious nut-and-cream gravy makes korma one of the heavier chicken dishes, close to butter chicken and well above a plain chicken curry. A homestyle korma with less cream and nut paste is near 260, while a restaurant version, thick with cream and cashew, crosses 380. If you are tracking, korma is a treat-end dish: the protein is good, but it comes wrapped in a lot of fat. Choosing a plain chicken curry instead saves well over 100 calories a katori for the same protein; the difference is entirely the korma's rich gravy.
