Creamy Chicken Korma or Shahi Chicken Korma Recipe
Make korma paste – I already have the recipe for korma paste on the blog. You can make it ahead and refrigerate or freeze for later use. Again, feel free to replace cashew nuts with almonds if you like. Marinate chicken – Marinating chicken overnight is highly recommended for this dish, however, if you are short on time, 20 minutes will suffice. The marinade is a simple mix of ground turmeric, red chili powder and yogurt. Make onion paste – Apart from the korma paste, this is one of the key ingredients of the recipe. Thinly sliced onions are first fried until they turn golden brown. You can add a little salt to speed up the process. Make sure the onions are sliced evenly to ensure even browning. Once they are browned, cool completely and grind to a coarse paste. This onion paste is crucial to add flavor and thicken the sauce. Finally, make creamy chicken korma – Start with sauteing cinnamon and cardamom. When they release a beautiful aroma, fry chicken until it’s about 80% cooked. Then you can add korma paste. Let chicken cook in the korma paste for about 10 minutes. Now, add in onion paste and cream. Simmer for few minutes and garnish with coriander (cilantro) leaves.
