Chicken Korma is a delicious Indian dish that's mildly sweet from caramelized onions and fragrant from whole spices and garam masala. It's a rich gravy that's creamy and luxurious.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in yogurt, salt and pepper and set aside for 20 minutes. Soak the cashews in water at the same time so that they soften by the time you are ready to use them.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons ghee and cook the onions till golden brown. Browning the onions takes a while, because it’s important to brown them without burning. Keep stirring them every few minutes as they cook to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Once they are evenly deep golden brown and soft, you know they are ready (or refer to the video above for colour).

Chef's Notes


Onions: You can use white or red onions in this recipe. I prefer white onions because of their flavour but they can be hard to find sometimes. We've tested the recipe with both.
Slicing Onions: Slicing four onions can seem like too much work. So either get some help, or use a mandoline if you own one. It makes this really fast and you'll get even, thin slices
Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs is my meat of choice for this recipe because they remain tender and juicy. If you'd like to use chicken breasts, skip the step where we stir fry the chicken on high heat to get some colour and just add them directly along with the onion paste and simmer so that they don't overcook.
Is korma unhealthy? Not really. The richness in the gravy comes from onions and cashews and not from too much cream or butter.
