Indian Chicken Korma:
Our Chicken Korma is a culinary delight that showcases tender chicken pieces cooked in a velvety and aromatic sauce. This dish exemplifies the art of combining spices and creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

In our kitchen, we begin by marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and cardamom. This marinade helps to infuse the chicken with a medley of flavors and ensures it remains tender and succulent.

The marinated chicken is then cooked gently in a pan until it turns golden brown and retains its natural juiciness. This step ensures that the chicken is cooked to perfection and ready to be enveloped in the luxurious sauce.

To create the creamy and aromatic sauce, we sauté a mixture of onions, garlic, and ginger until they become soft and translucent. A blend of ground spices, including cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and a hint of saffron, is added, infusing the sauce with a warm and fragrant aroma.

To achieve the velvety texture, a combination of cashews, almonds, or other nuts is ground into a paste and added to the sauce. This addition lends a richness and a subtle nutty flavor that complements the spices and enhances the overall taste.

The chicken pieces are then gently simmered in the sauce, allowing them to absorb the flavors and become tender and flavorful. A generous amount of cream or coconut milk is added, adding a luxurious creaminess to the dish.

Our Chicken Korma is best enjoyed with fragrant basmati rice or naan bread. The combination of tender chicken and the rich, creamy sauce creates a truly indulgent and satisfying dining experience.
