Qorma is a traditional dish in every Muslim household and has the Mughlai lineage to it's preparation. Mughals always did everything with a splendour and this particular curry has lots of nutty ingredients and yoghurt that adds richness and creaminess to the dish. It is made throughout Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Indian City of Hyderabad. All the Mughlai dishes are rich in fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Hence it is the most loved by everyone and is a must on menu on important occasions like Eid etc.
Happy Cooking Everyone!

Steps

40 minutes

1

Make a paste of all the ingredients listed under Qorma paste at first. Marinate Chicken with all the rest of the ingredients mentioned except Coriander and Mint Leaves plus the whole spices.
2

Set aside for an hour. Heat oil in a cooking pot and add in the whole spices like Cinnamon, Cardamom, Caraway seeds, Cloves and Star Anise.
3

Now add the Qorma paste to it. Saute it for about 10-12 minutes and then add the marinated chicken to it and allow it to cook on a low heat with a lid on until done for almost 25 minutes or accordingly.
4

There is absolutely no need of any water as there is yoghurt in it and as such it leaves a lot of water. Cook until a desired consistency is obtained of one's own choice. The Qormas are generally thick with juicy succulent pieces of meat.
5

Garnish with chopped Coriander and Mint Leaves. Serve it hot with Naans or Hyderabadi Baghara Khaana.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
