How to Make Easy Chicken Korma: Ramadan with Wow

Spelt “Qorma” in Pakistan’s native language Urdu and Korma in English, this is one of South Asia’s most famed curries. Its history is as rich as its flavor and pre dates the Mughal era. Different regions across Southeast Asia have slightly varied versions of the recipe and almost all families have their own secret recipe that’s been passed down through the generations. Read on to find out more about this ancient recipe!

Chicken Korma History

Korma is a word derived from the Turkish “qavirma” and is defined in thefreedictionary.com as “A dish of South Asian origin in which meat or vegetables are braised or simmered”.  There have been many variations of the name and the recipe across Central and South Asia throughout history. The one common factor has always been the cooking technique used. the meat is first braised and then slow-cooked.

The Indian/Pakistani Korma recipe has its roots in the 16th century Mughal Era. It is believed that a white korma garnished with ‘vark’ (a silver or gold edible foil) was served in Shah Jahan’s court to all the guests present at the inauguration of the Taj Mahal.

Adaptive-Tec

The most widely known and famous Korma is the Awadhi one. While its roots lie in Mughal cuisine, in later years it was adapted and changed by the Nawabs of Lucknow. This is a yogurt and onion-based curry with the emphasis being on fragrant spices versus bold ones.

Chicken Korma Recipe

Onions

The onions are the base of this curry. What quantity to use? How to cut them? How much to brown them? All of this is important to how your Korma turns out. I would say 1 cup of chopped onions per pound of meat is a good rule of thumb.

Traditionally, onions for Korma are sliced very thin and in semi-circles. But over the years I’ve learnt that grinding them in my food processor as shown below saves me a lot of time and actually browns the onions more evenly. Hence the recipe title, Easy Chicken Korma!

Spice Prep

I gather all my spices, prepare my garlic paste and crush my ginger. I find it’s much easier to have everything prepped and ready so it’s ready to add in as and when needed. This helps the cooking process go by smoothly and makes sure nothing overcooks.

When dry roasting the whole spices, make sure you preheat the frying pan. Once you add the spices, keep stirring them to get an even roast and don’t leave them unattended at all. 30 seconds to 1 minute should be enough. Over roasting the spices will give them a burnt and bitter taste so be very vigilant at this point.

Yogurt

Whisk the yogurt well to make a smooth paste. This gives the curry a smooth consistency.

Add all of the spices to the yogurt. This will help when adding them to the curry. As they are part of a liquid base, they are less likely to burn when going into very hot oil.

WOW 360|How to Make Easy Chicken Korma: Ramadan with Wow

Cooking the Korma

This is how brown the onions need to be. As you can see, they’re very evenly browned due to the way they were ground in the food processor. Add the garlic and ginger at this point and roast a little bit.

Add the chicken a few pieces at a time and roast till all of the pieces are opaque as pictured below.

Crush the cardamom before you add it to the Korma as this release the essential oils and thus the aroma.

Add the Kewra at the end. Do not add too much as this can add bitterness to the taste. Stick strictly to the quantity in the recipe.

Stir and cook till the oil separates. Place in your serving dish and garnish with your almonds just before serving.

Some people like to eat their Korma with Pulao but I like mine with a hot piece of Naan. For dessert, after you eat the Korma try the mango-kulfi recipe from the blog untoldrecipesbynosheen.com. It will hit the spot and You will love it! While you’re there please rate the recipe and leave a comment if you tried it and liked it.
