🛒 Ingredients You'll Need

For Marinating the Chicken:

  • 1 kg chicken (bone-in or boneless – your choice!)

  • 1 cup thick yogurt (whisked)

  • 1 tbsp ginger paste

  • 1 tbsp garlic paste

  • 1 tsp red chili powder

  • ½ tsp turmeric

  • Salt to taste

For the Curry:

  • 3 tbsp ghee or oil

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

  • ¼ cup cashews or almonds (soaked for 15 mins and ground into a paste)

  • ¼ cup fresh cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tsp coriander powder

  • ½ tsp cumin powder

  • ½ tsp garam masala

  • 2–3 green cardamoms

  • 2–3 cloves

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 tbsp kewra or rose water (optional, but fancy!)

  • A few saffron strands soaked in warm milk (optional, but magical)

🔪 Step-by-Step: Let’s Make Chicken Korma

🥣 1. Marinate That Chicken

In a big bowl, mix your chicken with yogurt, ginger and garlic paste, red chili, turmeric, and salt. Cover it and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (but if you have time, let it marinate for 2 hours — the flavor payoff is worth it!).

🧅 2. Fry the Onions (Birista style!)

  • Heat ghee or oil in a heavy-bottomed pan.

  • Add the sliced onions and fry them until golden brown and crisp (around 12–15 mins on medium).

  • Drain and let them
    cool on a paper towel. Set aside a little for garnish, and blend the rest into a smooth paste.

🍲 3. Cook the Korma

  • In the same pan with leftover oil, toss in your whole spices: cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf. Let them sizzle for a few seconds.

  • Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for a minute.

  • Now stir in the onion paste and cook it down for a few minutes.

  • Add the cashew/almond paste, and cook until the oil begins to separate — that’s when the magic starts.

  • Time to add the marinated chicken! Cook it on medium-high for about 10 minutes, stirring often so nothing sticks.

⏳ 4. Simmer & Finish

  • Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is perfectly tender.

  • Add cream (if you're using), garam masala, kewra/rose water, and the saffron milk.

  • Stir gently and let it simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to thicken slightly.

🍽️ How to Serve It

  • This korma is divine with naan, buttery paratha, or steamed basmati rice.
  • Sprinkle with some extra fried onions and fresh coriander for that final flourish.
