What is Chicken Korma?
Chicken korma is unlike any ordinary chicken curry because it includes the richness of spices, nuts, fried onions, creams and ghee among other things.
The origin of the chicken korma traces back to the 16th century during the Mughal dynasty in India.
Hailing from Persia, kormas were often prepared in the Mughal kitchens for the royal family.
A murgh korma ki recipe can be mildly spicy or highly spicy, depending upon the region of preparation.
Also, kormas are not restricted to chicken only but can also be prepared with other proteins such as lamb.
In addition, some favourite kormas in India are also made of vegetables only, such as potatoes, beans and carrots.
