Chicken korma is one of the most famous dishes of Pakistan. Indians too make this but with almond and other nut pastes but we make it with simple spices and yogurt. It tastes great and aromatic. Try this and make your day spicy …..

i made it today it was yummy nd i love you for this plz upload the recipe of summer desserts shakes smoothies
i will…….
i am going to make it today let see how it will 🙂
i made today this qorma but i think 4 tbspn yogurt is not enough for 1 kg chicken i used 250 grams yogurt becoz i like garebi:-)
overall it was awesome
I used 4 tbspns of settled yogurt so maybe thats why
Are you sure that corriander powder is not to be added
🙂 I dont add coriander powder to my dishes quite often because
1. Dont like the taste
2. Unnecessary addition – my food tastes fantastic without it so why bother!
3. It darkens the dish and that affects the presentation.
I made this using the exact recipe.. Just added more yogurt. Came out PERFECT!
Is Kewra water necessary cos I don’t get it in qatar.
Upto you. It just give that aroma.
Best recipe! My go-to
I love your recipe and so did my husband. Thank you for sharing! The food came out delisious. I used 1 pound of bones less chicken cut into cubes and still came out fantastic.
Thanks for the appreciation 🙂
