Instructions

  • The yoghurt, ginger garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, Kashmiri red chilli powder, and salt should be mixed together in a bowl.
  • Put in the chicken pieces and stir until they are completely covered. If you want the best results, cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour, or overnight.

 

  • Blend together the cashews that have been soaked in water in a blender. Create a creamy paste by blending the ingredients until they are completely smooth. Put aside for later.
  • Ghee or vegetable oil should be heated in a Dutch oven or a large skillet over medium heat.

 

  • Cook the chopped onions for approximately five to seven minutes, or until they become translucent and soft.
  • Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, and continue to cook for an additional one to two minutes until the aroma is released.

 

  • After adding the chopped tomatoes to the skillet, continue to cook them for approximately five minutes, or until they dissolve and become pliable.
  • Following that, incorporate the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg into the mixture.

 

  • Toast the spices and develop their flavour by continuing to cook for another two to three minutes.
  • The mixture of the onion and tomato should be transferred to a blender.

 

  • Continue blending until the cashew paste is completely smooth and creamy. In order to adjust the consistency of the mixture, you might need to add a little bit of water.
  • To the skillet, return the sauce that has been blended. Include any remaining marinade in the bowl, as well as the chicken that has been marinated.

 

  • Mix everything together by stirring it, and then bring it to a simmer. Cover and continue cooking for fifteen to twenty minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked all the way through.
  • When the chicken is done cooking, stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another two to three minutes to bring it to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste, and season with salt.

 

  • Fresh cilantro leaves should be used as a garnish after the Chicken Korma has been transferred to a serving dish. Serve while still hot with rice, naan, or any other Indian bread of your choosing.
