My chicken korma recipe is derived from classic ingredients and spices from India, with chicken marinated in a homemade korma paste and yogurt, then cooked quickly and simmered with cream. Mild in heat, but big on flavor, it's a spicy food lover's dream. Along with Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, Korma is undoubtedly one of the more popular items that can be found on the menu of any authentic Indian restaurant. Korma, also spelled as Khurma or Kurma, is a milder form of curry and is distinguished from other curries by its rich gravy and smooth texture, mainly because of its heavy incorporation of yogurt as part of its main ingredients. It is rich, creamy, full of spices and flavor, and just begs to be soaked up by a piece of fresh naan.
