Summing Up On Chicken Korma Recipe

Kurma is the south Indian variation of Korma. Kurmas are typically curries with a thicker sauce than their north Indian counterparts, most often including the addition of coconut and cashews. The traditional ingredients for making Korma are yogurt, a mix of spices such as cumin and coriander, coconut milk, tomatoes, etc. The preparation starts with marinating before finally being cooked in low heat to allow the meat or vegetable time to cook all the way through.

Korma is originally an Indian dish that was first famous by Mughal emperors who added their personal touch to it because they wanted something new to serve at their royal courts. What makes it so different from other dishes? It has many layers of flavors, from butter or ghee seared onto all meats or vegetables before adding them back into a pot of melted-yogurt sauce and slow-cooking everything together for even more depth.
