Chicken Korma Recipe
Chef Priya: "Nisha, today we’re making a rich and aromatic dish—Chicken Korma. It’s creamy, full of spices, and perfect for special occasions. Are you ready?"
Chef Nisha: "Oh, I love Chicken Korma, Priya! It’s one of those dishes that feels like a warm hug, you know? Let’s show our viewers how to make it!"
Ingredients:
- For Marination:
- 500g chicken (boneless, cut into pieces)
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- For Gravy/Sauce:
- 2 tbsp ghee or vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tbsp cashew paste (blend cashews with a little water)
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2 cup cream
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Steps:
Chef Priya: "Let’s start by marinating the chicken, Nisha. We’ll take 500g of boneless chicken and coat it with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, and some salt. Make sure the chicken is well-coated!"
Chef Nisha: "The yogurt really helps tenderize the chicken. Now, cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least an hour. The longer it sits, the better the flavors!"
Chef Priya: "While the chicken marinates, we’ll get the gravy started. Heat some ghee or oil in a pan, and add the sliced onions. Let’s cook these onions until they’re golden brown and caramelized—this is going to give our korma a beautiful sweetness!"
Chef Nisha: "I can smell the sweetness of the onions already! Once they’re golden, we add the ginger-garlic paste and cook it for another minute to release the flavors."
Chef Priya: "Next up, we’ll add the cashew paste—this is going to give our korma its creamy texture. Let the paste cook for a couple of minutes until it becomes fragrant and smooth."
Chef Nisha: "Mmm, it’s already smelling amazing! Now, pour in the coconut milk. This will add richness and a slight sweetness to the sauce. Stir it in well."
Chef Priya: "Now it’s time for the spices. Add in the garam masala, cardamom powder, and cinnamon powder. Stir them in and let the spices cook for a minute to release their aromas!"
Chef Nisha: "It’s starting to look like a Korma already! Now, let’s add in the marinated chicken. Stir well so that each piece of chicken is coated in that delicious sauce. Let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked."
Chef Priya: "Once the chicken is cooked through, it’s time for the final touch—add some cream! This will make the sauce extra rich and smooth."
Chef Nisha: "And don’t forget the garnish! Fresh coriander leaves will add color and a burst of freshness. Our Chicken Korma is ready!"
Chef Priya: "It looks so creamy and aromatic, Nisha! Serve it with naan or steamed basmati rice, and you’ve got a complete meal!"
Chef Nisha: "This is such a comforting dish, Priya. The rich flavors are absolutely irresistible. I can’t wait to dig in!"
Chef Priya: "Enjoy, Nisha! This Chicken Korma is going to be a hit with everyone!"
