Delicious and Flavorful Chicken Korma Recipe made with a combination of curd, fried and ground onions and chicken.
Actually this is Shahi Chicken Korma, a bit different from Chicken Korma. Minor changes has contributed to this tasty and flavorful dish. In the preparation of this dish, water is not used at all. The chicken gets cooked with the help of curd, ghee and the water that is released from the chicken. You can just imagine it's smell, taste, flavor and appearance.

Steps

1

Firstly, you have to marinate the chicken pieces well. Clean, wash and drain the chicken. Add it to a large bowl. Add ginger garlic paste, salt, red chilli powder and kashmiri red chilli powder and mix it well. Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder is used for color.
2

Add curd and mix it well. Let the chicken marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight. Third photo below is after marinating overnight. Notice the difference.
3

In a blender, add cumin seeds, javitri, nutmeg, cloves, peppercorns, green cardamoms (only the seeds) and cinnamon and blend to a fine powder. Set it aside. It needs to be added at the end. Freshly ground masala enhances the taste of the dish.
4

Soak almonds and cashewnuts in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes.
5

Blanch the almonds and add to a blender and blend to a smooth paste with very little water.
6

Remove in a bowl and add kesar and set aside.
7

Heat ghee/oil in a large pan.
8

Add the sliced onions and fry until golden brown in color. I fried it in two lots. Two onions at a time.
9

Remove on plate and allow to cool. Add it to a blender and blend it without water. Set it aside.
10

In the same ghee/oil in which the onions were fried, add big cardamom, black peppercorns, cloves, green cardamoms, bay leaf and cinnamon. You may add some more ghee/oil, if you want.
11

Now add the marinated chicken and saute on medium flame. Add coriander powder.
12

Add the dried coconut powder and cook on medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
13

Reduce the flame to low and add curd. Stir quickly. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
14

Add the fried and ground onions. Mix well and cover and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes more. Add the prepared fresh garam masala powder and mix it.
15

Lastly, add the soaked and ground almond-cashewnuts paste with kesar and mix it. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes for delicious smell, taste and flavor.
16

Delicious and Flavorful Chicken Korma is ready.

Enjoy it hot with roti, paratha etc.
