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.


Korma as I know it being a North Indian dish uses yogurt not coconut.
Maybe some South Indian version uses coconut? It’s a big diverse country anything is possible.
One thing for certain, you can always have more garlic
