- This Chicken Korma is creamy, and velvety with the perfect hum of spices, and is definitely up there as one of my favourite curries of all time!
The caramelized onions and spiced yogurt give this korma such an amazing depth of flavour. Great over hot basmati rice or served with warm chapathis. Enjoy! :)
Full recipe listed below. I hope you enjoy this video :)
Let's be friends :D

RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
5 tbsp, Canola Oil
2 medium Onions, chopped
10 raw Cashews
1 cup, Whole Yogurt
1/2 tsp, Turmeric
1 tsp, Coriander Powder
1 tsp, Red Chilli Powder
2 tsp, Garam Masala
1 stick of Cinnamon
3 Green Cardamom Pods
1 Black Cardamom
5 Cloves
10 Black Peppercorns
1 Bay Leaf
1 tsp, finely grated Ginger
1 tsp, finely grated Garlic
1 lb, boneless skinless Chicken Thighs cut into big chunks
1 cup, Water
Salt to taste
Fresh chopped Coriander to garnish
METHOD
Place 2 tbsp of oil in a heavy bottom pot, and heat on medium-low. Add onions and slowly sauté for 10-15 minutes until deeply browned. Allow to cool, and transfer to a blender with cashews. Blend until smooth, adding a little bit of water if necessary to form a thick paste.
In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, turmeric, coriander powder, red chilli powder, and garam masala until fully mixed. Set aside.
Heat remaining 3 tbsp in same pot on medium-low heat. Add cinnamon, green and black cardamom pods, cloves, black peppercorns, and bay leaf. Sauté for 15-30 seconds or until cloves have puffed up. Then add grated ginger and garlic and fry for an additional 30 seconds.
Increase heat to high, and add chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken no longer looks raw on the outside.
Stir in spiced yogurt, onion paste, and salt to taste and reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring often until the oils begin to separate along the edge of the curry.
Add water, and increase heat to medium. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes partially covered until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves. Enjoy! :)

That caramelised onion & cashew purée blew my mind. I’ve finally figured out why my curries suck.
Bingo! Me too! What a blessing she is.....my kitchen smells like it's flown non-stop to Delhi.
LOL you are NOT alone my friend! 😅
ToraJutsu01 We don’t let the flavors fully develop before the next step. I have figured that out, and have learned to slow down Nd enjoy the process. Makes all the difference in curries,
I learned about the caramelized onions about a year ago but was missing the cashew paste!
This tastes even better when the flavours are left to fully develop in the fridge overnight then reheated the next day... pure gastronomic bliss!!
yes !! i love making curry but I looooooooooooove the left overs more because it just tastes better the next day, i'll reheat on stove and thin it out with some chicken stock.
It's so true!:apparently good Indian restaurants will serve 1 or 2 day old recipes, makes sense to me
Followed your recipe twice now and my sister's boyfriend was genuinely blown away by how authentically Indian it tasted 🤣 yum yum 👌
I made this last night and I’m convinced it was the best curry I’ve ever made. I made a double batch and actually used a little less onions than asked for- I wasn’t sure how it was gonna turn out. As soon as I added the onions, it came together beautifully. The key is getting those onions caramelized; it takes a lot longer than 15 minutes too.
yeh, more like an hour at least for me!
Can I add coconut milk to this??
@leggbuildingdorchester6234 I'm sure you can? Try it for us and let us know :) I've been making this recipe for years and it's always amazing.
The recipe was easy to follow and it came out amazing :) The only difference was that I used 0% Liberté Greek yogurt, brined leg and thighs with bone, and I let it simmer for an hour after the last step :) The meat was literally sliding off the bone when I ate it with lightly toasted whole wheat tortillas :) I used no salt other than the brining step :) Thank you Vijaya :)
Thanks for your comment...
I made this for dinner last night and my husband LOVED it! I added some additional spices and green chilis for heat and it came out super delicious. Thanks for the amazing recipe !
@LFPRLDJJ I added some toasted kashmiri chillis that I grinded into a fine powder, fennel seeds, and a tiny bit of mace and Kewra water. I really enjoyed the taste.
My mom keeps asking me where I've learned to cook like this. Its beyond hilarious to watch her confusion at my being able to cook apna food when she never taught me.
aint that an amazing feeling lol
Yes, some of these youtube cooking channels are quite good.
What is apna?
@@Guerrini2954 apna is a punjubi slang meaning "our people"
I'm a white guy and cooked this for some punjabi friends haha the reaction was great
I made this for my parents a while back, adding some sauteed poblano peppers for some additional vegetables. They recently told me they enjoyed it so much, they have gotten korma at every Indian restaurant around town, and none of them are anywhere near as wholesome and flavorful as this recipe. Thanks for this one!
As a person who has been cooking for years, I think this is a very good recipe and very well presented. Thank you.
As a person whose very hungry,
I'd eat this.
Wow a person who has been cooking for years. Me too! You a human adult as well? Or just an ambitious adolescent?
@@elguero9279 Only 74 years young 😀
@@fspike2469 you actuaally 74? really cool person for 74 lol
I will cook this next week. Never understood how currys turned so creamy, mine always turned out quite watery. Now I get it!
Just made this, and it was the most satisfying Korma i've ever made. It's extremely luxurious but not at all heavy, it's quite tangy from the yogurt but the caramelized onions mellow it.
I can’t wait to make this. I’m a Brit living in the US and you know how Brits love their curries. I love to cook so I can’t wait to get to trying your recipes.
In Hawaii there aren't many good indian food restaurants but I have a favorite in the city... unfortunately we don't get out to the city often so I only get to eat it once or twice a year. I've been searching for a proper korma recipe like what they offer but have never been able to duplicate it. I knew that geography was the main difference with the recipes I was trying and the one I actually wanted but I had no clue what part the family that owns the restaurant is from (they're first generation immigrants and a very tiny family run restaurant so it was his mothers recipe and he absolutely would not give me any hints). This blows it out of the water! This is the exact flavor i was looking for and i believe i can add the veg that they use pretty easily (i usually get it with eggplant). Thank you thank you thank you! This taste fabulous and its easy to follow you through the whole video!
Where have you been all my life? I love your videos, your personality and your recipes are nice and simple and to the point. I'm so looking forward to trying these dishes.
Just tried this in a veganized version (soy-yoghurt + veggies instead of yoghurt+chicken) and it blew my mind! 100% recommendation. Only one thing I'd like to add: for those who are a bit heat sensitive, serve this dish with some extra yoghurt and/or chutney as it is (to my european palete at least) on the more spicy side of things.
Loved the video!
Chicken, lamb, mutton, vegetables, paneer... No matter what goes in - curry Korma style has always been my favourite type of curry! And yours looks and sounds fantastic! 😊
There’s an Indian restaurant in town that’s sooo good and this recipe tastes almost identical to their chicken korma.
10/10 recommend this recipe.
Imo salt really brings all the flavors out in the end.
Wow, this looks simple and delicious. Thanks for sharing it!
Honestly I was skeptical how it would turn out based on the amount of whole spices and the blend of really brown onions and cashews (I used almonds)... but WOW it turned out really well! Thank you!!
I made this dish for my mom and she absolutely loves it! She always ordered chicken korma from restaurants here and she never liked it, but now she certainly does :)
I wrote down this recipe about six months ago ,,finally cooked it last week ,,it is the first curry I have made from scratch,,instead of using from a jar or packet ,,it was very nice and I will be making this again ,,probably many more times ,,thank you Vijaya
just made this recipe tonight! it turned out AMAZING
I made this recipe a couple weeks ago, and it is very good. My $30 blender didn't handle the low volume onion and cashew mixture very well, however. I'll use the hand/immersion blender tomorrow when I make another batch. Also I'll add more chili powder because I like it spicy. Thanks for the great recipe and awesome video, Vijaya!
This looks so delicious!! Thank you for the recipe. I can’t wait to make this over the weekend 💕
Going to cook this tonight. I have been eating Indian food for three weeks now . I feel so much healthier. My memory recall is faster and clearer. Moved all my kitchen round for all my spices and herbs. Thank you.
I made this for my boyfriend who loves indian food, and he loved it! it was my first time making Chicken Korma and it is delicious! thank you! :)
Seriously the best. Making it right now after making it once 2 weeks ago, and let me tell you, y'all need to make this.
Totally need to try your recipes starting with this!
I made this without cloves and without yoghurt. I accidentally used sour cream instead of coconut cream, but it turned out tasting like a chicken korma and it was delicious.
I made this today and I was shocked how good it was, thanks, this was an awesome recipe and easy to make.
How about a navratan korma? I've seen so many different methods to prepare it, and would love to know your take on it!
I’ve bicycled up and down the breadth of India over the last few decades and will be visiting again in a month. But , my dear, this is the best chicken korma I’ve ever tasted. Bravo to you. And thank you.
That means a lot, thank you!
Made this today with my girlfriend. It tasted amazing, just like it does in Indian restaurants🙌🏻 by adding a little bit of honey it tasted even better☺️
Thank you so much for this recipe, Vijaya! I just made this dish and it turned out SO delicious!!! 🙌🏾❤️
Ultimately you are my go-to when it comes to cooking Indian food. Your methods just continue to blow my mind
Wow, that looks so easy to do with only one ingredient too chop up ! And I was happy to see no additional cream being added in. I can't wait to try soon, thanks for sharing !
It looks absolutely delicious! Very easy to make too! I love the spices as well!
Cooked this tonight but used lab and potatoes instead of chicken, magnificent. Fantastic recipe. Thank you so much for sharing this.
This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I'm always on the lookout for new recipes, and this one just won't heart over, gonna go make it right now. Great job with the recipe and its explanation, thanks.
This was so incredible. I finally made it this past weekend after wanting to for ages. So delicious. I doubled the recipe (except for the water), and it's so luxurious and rich. Thank you for such clear, simple instructions for what is definitely going at the top of this family's recipe stack!
I just made this, I subbed sunflower seeds as I didn't have cashews on hand though, but it still turned out fabulous! 🤤 So anyone with a nut allergy; you can enjoy this one too.
Thanks for posting 👌
I keep coming back to this video. Very simple and to the point. Pleasant to watch. I have made this specific recipe about 5 times now and it delicious every time.
I used to measure the seasoning but now I just eyeball it lol.
Goes well with white rice. And you can eat it with naan or roti too 😋
I made korma for the first time and this recipe was absolutely amazing the best tasting korma I've had!!
I've made this just now and it's absolutely gorgeous, texture, the tenderness of the chicken. I always like to make curry in different ways and this is exactly what I'm looking for. Beautiful curry and a beautiful woman.
Making this today, it looks so simple, may be you have made it look simple by placing all spices in a single plate instead of small saucers. Very nice, can't wait
Vijaya, This looks amazing :)
I did it yesterday, it was very delicious 😋 My family enjoyed alot , I love it 😻 thank you very much dear
I made this vegan! With vegan yoghurt and vegan chicken :). I also added some carrots, thinly cut potatoes and some spinach (because love the veggies).
HOLY DAMN THIS WAS CRAZY GOOD. The complexity of the flavours are really AWESOME. thank you so much
I made this for my family twice! They love it! Even the little 5-yr-old picky eater.
This is the best chicken korma recipe on TH-cam.
TH-cam we needs a scratch and sniff option. This is making me hungry
That would damage the screen
Thanks for the récipe! I've never thought that this delicious recipe could be easier than this!
Made this today. Absolutely delicious. I really like your recipies. This was the third dish I made from your videos. Keep up the good work.
Best regards from Germany.
I love this recipe!!!! It tastes amazing, I made it for my family and they loved it
Just made this and it turned out so so delicious!! Substituted the yoghurt for a dairy free version and still turned out so yummy! I can always trust your recipes😍💜
Why so weak? 😜
@@iamhungry4000 its just not kosher to mix meats with dairy!
@@limorbeautified7645 it was an uncle Roger reference 🙂
@@iamhungry4000 lmaooo sorry! The only UR reference I know is “emotional damage”😫🤣
Amazing recipe, great instructions and also the written recipe, thank you it was delicious !
Wow looks good! Definitely going to try this one out.
Looks so yummy ! I’m definitely trying this .
Hi currently in the process of making this, waiting for that oil to separate from the yogurt 😅and I can already tell it will come out delicious thank you for this:) I wish I had the original ingredients to make this but I substituted yogurt for sour cream. And cloves I did nutmeg. And for black peppercorn I did All spice😭. But I’ll make sure to get these ingredients for next time 🧡
looks amazing, can't wait to try it
Great recipe! Thanks!
By the way, I just prepared it. It has been a success! Delicious. Thank you very much.
I’ve wanted to try chicken korma! I’ll be making this soon! :D
Thank vijaya, at 37' first time in my life as a man I cook this recipe today the d day, so simple, JUST SPICE IT
As a chicken korma lover this makes me really hungry
That's so good
Haha amazing!
@@vijaya16 started to eat lots of chicken this year!I havent learned proper usage of yoghurt and other creams!about to move to a bigger appartment that hopefully got a bigger kitchen area, so I can learn to cook some of these dishes from this channel!
@@vijaya16 hiya can you use tin coconut milk instead of the yogurt.. thank you
@@raypearson947 I always substitute yogurt for sour cream in currys whenever I don’t have it at hand :) you should try.
@@bibsbeezASMR ok thanks for the tip 👍
I realize your version is a-tomato, but as many other chefs' korma recipes call for a tsp of tomato paste or a couple of chopped tomatoes and I had two Romas that needed using -- I added them to the blender. They helped a lot with the onion-cashew puree in terms of getting it all blended. And in the end, the whole thing was a delightful success. Kiddos ate it up until they were popping full. Thank you!
Tried this today! Everyone at home loved it!!
Gorgeous. Thank you for step by step instruction, plus recipe. The most authentic recipe I've found so far. Appreciated.
Absolutely excellent how you managed to eat a large piece of chicken and not make a single chomping sound…. Impressive… And now, i will make the Korma… love from Alberta, Canada
I made it with cauliflower instead of chicken for a vegetarian option and it was great. Thank you for the delicious recipe!
Can’t wait to try the recipe out! Looked more delicious and tender and creamy than the restaurant take out korma I was eating while watching this.
this has always been a favorite Indian dish for me. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I have just made this dish but I added 1 table spoon of dark brown sugar just to give a bit of sweetness,,,
Delicious yum
I made this one last week following your recipe & man it was off the chain!
brilliant, absolutely brilliant recipe, made it over and over again
Thank you! I made this tonight - a great way to use up caramelized onions I had on hand.
I'm totally going to cook this. Great recipe, looks easy, but so effective and no doubt delicious. You're a great presenter. Thanks!
Lovely recipe 👌🏻
Dear Vijaya, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making my dream come true! Your chicken Korma is AMAZING 👍 your recipe is so easy and delicious 🤤 is just unbelievable how good it is!!! 🏆🥇 My family said your recipe is better than restaurant!!! Thank you for sharing 😍 really appreciate it 👍
Mam, thank you so much for this recipe. I tried it today and it taste soooooo good, MashaAllah. My daughter (5 yr old) knows what she likes and don’t like when it comes to food. She said it’s yummy and cook this for her school lunchbox. ❤️👍
Well, I know what I’m cooking for dinner tonight! 🥘
I have been trying to recreate the chicken korma recipe from my local Indian restaurant and this one comes VERY close! It tastes amazing and wasn't hard to make at all! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. It is an absolute keeper!! A couple notes, I think whole milk full fat yogurt makes is a must. I also added some Thai chili flakes to kick the heat up a bit
Made this for tonight’s dinner …. Sooooo good and kid approved. They asked me to make it again. So glad I stumbled onto your page.
Looks beautiful.
Thank you for the easy to follow recipe
Officially subscribed! We live very rural so we don’t have a lot of culturally diverse foods available. I’m determined to learn and provide as authentic as I can manage foods for my kids and this recipe was so good and accessible! Thank you and can’t wait to try more!
The best Indian cooking video I've seen so far on TH-cam. Very precise, lots of details, well spoken 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Your recipe is awesome. Just one question : what kind of bay leave do you use? I heard indian bay leaves is very different than the western one
Korma é maravilhoso! Tanto faz se é de frango ou de carneiro. Comi muito isso em Londres. Obrigado por compartilhar a receita!
Thanks for this excellent presentation. I’m going to try it but have a question. You say to use 400 degrees oven temperature but it looks like you’re using a fan oven. As fan ovens such as Neff cook at lower temperatures using their Circotherm fan, is the 400 degrees for a fan oven or a conventional oven?
Nice recipe! But i changed it a bit:
Instead of the tablespoon of chili powder i used a mix of mainly smoked paprika & cayenne pepper powder and a bit of bird´s eye chili powder, i also did not add the garlic to the oil(because i dont like browned garlic and i dont think you can avoid it much if you want to cook the chicken in the oil) instead i put it into the cashew-onion paste and add it first after the chicken was a tiny bit browned on some pieces and cooked it with the chicken for like 2 minutes. I also used less oil and Greek yogurt with 10% fat and finished it with a big tablespoon of butter and a bit of heavy cream because the acid of the yoghurt was a bit to much for my taste.
Served it with brown rice. Everybody liked it.
Thanks!
This is looks bloody delicious! It will be my weekend cooking project .Thank you from down under.
Can’t wait to try this!
My mouth is literally watering 🤤🤤🤤🤤
excellent video and also one of my favorite curries as well. Your instructions are good as are your descriptions of the final product you were tasting, while I was salivating......
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! So... I think I followed the recipe pretty much step by step... but the yogurt mix curdled when I put it into the pot with the onion/cashew paste... What did I do wrong? Perhaps too hot? Not enough water? Thanks for your help!
Love it! simple, fast and delitious!
Wow, this this looks good!
Ok - this is straight up delicious. Followed the recipe to a tee and it turned out fantastic!!!
My kitchen smells so divine and I haven't even finished yet. Thank you so much for this video!
This recipe is amazing. My family loves it! Thank you
