Conclusion

The delectable Chicken Korma is an Indian meal with veggies like onions, green chilies, tomatoes, nuts like cashews, and almonds combined with korma spice. Since the word "korma" in Urdu means "to braise," the chicken pieces are braised in the korma before anything else.

This Korma meal is made with many spices, including whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and Kashmiri red chili powder.

The mildest of flavors can be found in chicken korma's basic flavor. Kashmiri red chili powder gives the classic chicken korma curry a mildly spicy taste. You may easily alter the level of spiciness to suit your preferences.
