Chicken Korma
Chicken Korma is a delicious and popular dish from the Indian subcontinent. It is made by cooking tender pieces of chicken in a rich and creamy sauce, typically flavored with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and cardamom. The sauce is usually made with a base of yogurt or cream, which gives it a luscious and creamy texture. Chicken Korma is often served with rice or naan bread.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken boneless cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 cup plain yogurt whisked
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for a richer sauce)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil or ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala. Add this spice mixture to the pan and cook for a minute, stirring well to coat the onions.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the whisked yogurt to the pan. Mix well to combine and let the chicken simmer in the yogurt sauce for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- If desired, you can add the heavy cream to the pan for a richer and creamier sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and spices according to your liking.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with rice or naan bread.
