![]() Most commonly, I’ve seen it as a creamy curry, where the rich sauce contains pureed cashews. Korma is a fairly common item when ordering Indian food, but can be vary wildly in terms of what it is. Now that we’ve moved home to Canada - far away from the favourite restaurant that inspired it! - it’s become a VERY handy recipe to have on hand! This had been a favourite for a while before posting. Things had calmed down a little, so I had decided to finally blog my Chicken Shahi Korma recipe! Worth the bit of effort it takes to make it!īack when I first posted this - eight and a half years ago - I was just at the end of an incredibly busy few weeks, preparing for the release of “Twisted: A Minneapolis Tornado Memoir”. Therefore it’s possible that their korma recipe also arrived much later.This Chicken Shahi Korma recipe is a replica of our favourite dish at a Minneapolis Indian restaurant we used to frequent (Taste of India). Then you correct them by informing them that the cashew is not ours. So if someone claims that a korma with cashew paste is an authentic recipe. So all kormas were either made with Chironji paste or almond paste. We started harvesting the cashew nut much later. The Portuguese brought cashews to India and they talk us cashew cultivation. Cashew nuts are not originally Indian ingredients. Actually, an authentic korma recipe will never use cashew nuts. It’s not at all necessary to use cashews in a korma. Myth Breaking Question: Is it necessary to use cashew nuts in a korma? To make brown onion, fried it, and then blended them with a dash of water. To add richness.Īnd brown onion paste is an absolute must. So the nut paste can be either one with Chironji or this one (coconut). So the paste was made with poppy seeds, coconuts, and a few cashew nuts. Because of it thickens and is inexpensive and poppy seeds. Now, this Chironji-Almonds-Cashew paste is an expensive proposition for small restaurants. After frying in ghee, when they turned light golden brown. In the version of the korma cooked in palaces, the nut paste included, Chironji, Almonds, and cashew nuts. The cuisine of Lucknow is cooked on the street as well as mansions and was also cooked in palaces. So it’s obvious that the korma pre-dates these ingredients. And the British did not eat chicken korma. See, the fact of the matter is, by the time potatoes and tomatoes became famous in India, Awadh was already under the British rule. ![]() Curd/yogurt is added for sourness and not tomatoes! If someone brings a korma with tomatoes to you claiming it’s an authentic Lucknow style recipe. The first is, a paste of nuts, and second is the second is a combination of yogurt and spices. In any korma, it has two main components. And cooked with a combination of spices usually qualifies as a korma. Yogurt and nuts, a dish made by combining yogurt and nuts. So, the moral of the story is that you can cook a korma. Particularly in a murgh Awadhi korma or that if you don’t smoke it. Some argue that it cannot be made without adding Chironji. For instance, in the korma cooked in Lucknow. ![]() And cities like Hyderabad, Lahore, Lucknow gave the korma it’s own unique flavor. But countries like India, Pakistan actually gave the korma it’s a definition. Whether Korma came from Khoresh or Mongolia. While others claim that Korma came from central Asia. Some believe that the korma has its origins in the Persian “Khoresh”. If cooked in a curd/yogurt base, it is called a korma. And if anything is cooked with yogurt-like meat, chicken, vegetables. Often people get intimidated and worried about cooking a korma. Don’t confuse in murgh Awadhi korma and chicken korma, both are the same. So I present to you, Lucknow style chicken korma. Then I thought to myself, why cook chicken korma? It’s such an easy recipe. So I thought, first let’s make the family happy. When I say family here I mean my husband, children, friends, relatives. You should have made a chicken korma recipe. Now my family has started saying “Asha, you have not cooked chicken korma till date”.
