Been making a lot of indian curries recently. It's been a couole of years since I last made chicken korma and I remember back then the recipe I used was very basic and simple.

This time I spent a lot of time researching the recipe, looking at different variations, regional differences, the history of the dish and while also trying to justify why certain things are done in a scientific way.

Then I tabulated my findings and created one recipe out of all of them. I can't really claim credit for my recipe nor do I know if my recipe is even authentic. All I know if that is was delicious and the chicken came out insanely tender.

I'll comment the recipe below.

Indian person checking in. Yep this sounds like a pretty good recipe 🙂

I wouldn't substitute almonds though. The cashews are very important for that very creamy texture!

Also a matter of taste but a little more garlic and ginger wouldn't hurt.

You add yogurt before boiling, and it didn't break?

    Non Indian curry lover checking in. Don't kormas usually have a taste of coconut somewhere? Or is that just common rather than a necessary part of the dish.

    Not sure what this question means. Could you please clarify?

    Also thank you for the affirmation 😃

    I think they mean it didn’t curdle. I tend to add the yoghurt toward the end of cooking because of this, particularly if you have lemon or lime in the pot.
