Chicken Korma is a popular Indian dish that is made with chicken cooked in a creamy and mildly spiced sauce. The dish has Mughlai origins and is traditionally made with yogurt, cream, and a blend of aromatic spices.

Here is a recipe to make Chicken Korma:

Ingredients:

1 kg chicken, cut into pieces

2 cups plain yogurt

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)

Salt, to taste

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup heavy cream

Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, onion, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric powder, garam masala, cinnamon powder, chili powder (if using), and salt. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
