#Chickerecipes - Korma is a curry dish prepared either with mutton, mixed veggies or chicken. It can be made either dry or with gravy according to individual preference. The choice of ingredients that goes into making this delicious and yummy dish varies from region to region and from person to person. In fact every household have their own version.

This is my version of Chicken Korma where I have dry roasted numerous aromat spices and made it in a dry form as I like it this way when having it with any Indian flat bread. I opted for tomatoes and tomato paste along with onion, ginger and garlic for the base sauce, but yoghurt or cream too can be used to make it more milder.
