I’ve tried cooking dozens of different recipes to perfect the taste of a restaurant korma and whilst some have been really good, this is in my opinion is the best yet - and the easiest. No special ingredients, no nuts, no thick cream (except the coconut cream) and no chopping of onions! Forget my portfolio of tried and tested Korma recipes - this has now become my family favourite. I was originally going to cook a Kashmiri curry with added fresh fruit but did this curry and at the end just on a very gentle heat, added some fresh lychees and banana chunks - delicious. Thank you for your good, clear instructions and tips.
Thank you, Chef, I love your recipes, I am from Mexico but I do love Indian Food very tasty and love the variety of healthy spices and ingredients added to the recipes
My first husband was from Glasgow and his family immigrated to the States when he was 16, He became a US citizen and stayed in the US, but his parents moved back to Glasgow when they retired. I had the opportunity to visit them on a trip to Scotland and they introduced me to Indian cuisine. I had Chicken Korma and I fell in love with it! After returning to the States I made it my mission to find Chicken Korma at various Indian restaurants here but none of them compared to what I had eaten in Glasgow. I can’t wait to make this and I am keeping my fingers crossed that my search is now over and I can have it anytime my heart desires! Thank you!
I just made this and have to give it 5 stars! I live abroad now and there is nowhere here that does a chicken korma, of all the recipes I have tried on TH-cam this is the only one which tastes EXACTLY like they make in Indian Restaurants in the UK 😊 thank you very much!
Made this tonight for my very fussy step son who won’t eat any vegetables. onion is his worst. He absolutely loved it. Said it was the best he has ever tasted. Love the hidden veg haha. Thank you for the recipe.
Live in Australia found this recipe and have made it about 7 times now. Saved the video to my play list me and my wife love it. Thanks for sharing so simple!
This is the Korma I remember from Scottish restaurants and takeaways. I'm sure recipes vary throughout the UK but this is the one most Scots will be familiar with I think.
Delicious, when my granddaughter was visiting Glasgow this wonderful restaurant served goat curry, having been unsure about the flavor she discovered it to be very tasty and succulent. With best wishes ❤
I made this last weekend and it was absolutely delicious! I'm make your tikka masala tomorrow and have just marinated my chicken, can't wait! Thank you for the recipes Chef!
This was epic cooked it tonight have just moved abroad and it was so nice to have something that reminded me of home! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Thank you so much for this great recipe! It has become my go to for korma. I add ground fresh coriander just because I love coriander but it doesn’t need it/ It’s a fabulous recipe! Now I don’t need to ask my Indian relatives who hate giving out recipes lol
Thank you for showing how to cook chicken korma with clear directions, and what-to-dos, what-not-to-dos! I love, love all kinds of curries, and I feel lucky to come across your channel today. 😊Cheers!
Thank you Chef Kumar. I love the one I get at the restaurant near my house; they do add to it raisins and almonds! It tastes fabulous! I will try your recipe, perhaps with that added twist. धन्यवाद
All I can say wow you got the wow factor :))magically made smoothest taste and gentle taste not too spice or angrily hot just subtle. Everything in it creamy and sweet springly .so professionally spoken and simplified manner:)thanks and happy new year
i did the same. did not add as much creme to behonest. buy yes. i was surprised. i might make some slight ajustments. but will defo make it many more times
I made a nice Korma following your steps, although I added ground almonds. If I eat in a sandwich the next day, is that technically a Coronation chicken sandwich?
If I was making a shrimp korma, would I also cost the shrimp in the yogurt/marinade? Or simply season them for marinade, and add them at the very end, turn off heat, cover with lid, and steam. This steaming/blanching method I do with gumbo as to not overcook the shrimp so I figure It might work here as well. Thanks.
I saw a bay leaf poking out really late in the cook well after chicken had gone in. It's normal to leave cloves and cardamoms in and serve with them still in. As for the cinnamon, I can only assume he fished that out at some point.
I had a korma in London that was amazing but it had almonds (or maybe cashews) in it. I know it did because my son, who has a tree nut allergy) reacted to it. Is it uncommon to put nuts in korma?
When do take out the cloves, cinnamon stick, peppers and Bay leaves? Or do you keep them in right to the end? I just fried them for 20 seconds then took them out and kept the oil in the pan.
@@ChefAjayKumar Hello, Thank you for such a speedy reply. I cooked your curry the other night and it was amazing. I would love to see you do recipes like chicken bhuna and chicken tikka masala. Have a great day. 😁😁😁
The missus loves korma,so I,m making this for her tonight 👌👌 I,ll pep mine up after I,ve served hers coz I like mine spicy,have you done a vindaloo video mate ??
This looks absolutely delicious. I’ve a wee suggestion. Could you ever make a peshwari naan recipe just like it’s made in the Indian restaurant ? It’s my favourite thing on the menu and it’d be so fun to recreate it at home!
I'm looking forward to trying this. I've followed quite a few recipes so far and it's been nothing like a korma from a takeaway or even a supermarket ready meal. Each time, it's been horribly sickly, but yours has lots more onions and less fat, which definitely seems better!
This is the craziest accent I've ever heard. Indian + Scottish accent. And I thought Indian + Greek accent was a crazy combo. Anyways, this looks delicious and I might try to cook it one day. I usually order it from a specific restaurant and it is golden. Love the sweet taste of the coconut. Then they also add a salad with a type of awesome white salad sauce, but I don't know what its called. It's so good.
@@kwizmon I am sure you will nail it. Just make sure that you don't make the sauce too thick. That doesn't help flavours build up. Add water where needed.

bro, add a whole can of pineappple chunks and juice to make a malaya curry, its sooo good!!
I'm drunk and I'm making this recipe, and I literally just noticed this guys accent isn't Indian, it's SCO-ISH. LMFAO
Hope you enjoyed cooking your korma mate
Aye there's a little indian in there but i can definitely hear the scottish!
This made me laugh so much!
@@ICVGW haha. 'there's a little Indian in there' made me laugh so hard XD
@@interstellarlapisthecccp4946 me too lol

Oh my days, I made this and it is awesome!! Thanks so much for the recipe, sometimes you just need total comfort food and this is it.
Made this for my daughter as she's not a big spicy fan, it was without a doubt the best korma I've ever cooked, superb!

How long should you marinate the chicken for?

Made this tonight for Valentine’s Day and it was delicious! I would say you could use double the amount of chicken. There was so much sauce!
I am glad that you have enjoyed cooking korma 🙂
Can really hear the Scotland in your accent, thank you for this recipe... one of my favourite dishes
So under rated
there are some really great tips for cooking in general on his videos.
It looks just like what you get at the best local restaurants.
Thank you. I am glad that you found this video helpful 🙏
This looks pretty easy. Great tutorial.
It is easy to nail this one mate. Thank you for your compliments
This looks great! I will give it a go.
Always thought this had crushed almonds in it though?
Just made this tonight for the family and it's just received the chef's kiss. Really nice. Will definitely cook this again 👌thank you for sharing
This looks amazing I will be making it this wee. Thank you.
Thank you and let me know if any questions 🙏
The advice on getting the taste right is really useful.
finally a good and to the point explanation. Usually videos for indian food are waaaaay too long
Made this the other day and loved it! Thanks for sharing !

Really Your Recipes Are Really Unique And Delicious...
Made this yesterday, was absolutely fantastic!
just made this - yum yum yum and yum. How do i make it a weeee bit hotter (medium)?
Amazing recipe!
How can I find the ingredients please? I've subscribed but still can't fund them.
I followed your recipe and the Korma tasted fantastic. 💯👌
Thats great. Thank you 😊
i did the same. did not add as much creme to behonest. buy yes. i was surprised. i might make some slight ajustments. but will defo make it many more times
I made this and it tasted amazing. Very simple too.
Looks lovely
Thank you 🙏
HI. JUST SUBSCRIBED REALLY LIKED THE WAY YO DONE YOUR KORMA I WILL BE TRYING ....LOOKING FORWARD TILL THE REST OF YOUR DISHES ....THANKS!
My kids both have a milk allergy. Would it still be the same if I used a vegan cream?
That looks fabulous chef.
Thank you.👍🏼
I made a nice Korma following your steps, although I added ground almonds. If I eat in a sandwich the next day, is that technically a Coronation chicken sandwich?
Hi, thanks I’m going to attempt this for tonight, your Korma looks delicious. Kindest regards. Daniel
Hope it turns out great for you. Thank you 🙏
Do you recommend leaving the chicken in the marinate overnight? I have never heard of things being overly marinated so I would guess it is ok?
how do you make the coconut cream or what brand is it ?
Done it a couple of times very simple well worth doing better than paying for take away
Looks great. Thankyou. That looks like a tasty korma .
love you man keeo it up
I made it today and it was 😋 delicious. Thanks to u buddy from Canada 🇨🇦.
If I was making a shrimp korma, would I also cost the shrimp in the yogurt/marinade?
Or simply season them for marinade, and add them at the very end, turn off heat, cover with lid, and steam.
This steaming/blanching method I do with gumbo as to not overcook the shrimp so I figure It might work here as well.
Thanks.
You don't need to coat and marinate them. Rest you know well I can tell. Enjoy 🙂
Thanks ajay I live in Lanark I would love to visit your restaurant where is it
@shirinjabbal2276 thank you too. It is in Glasgow merchant city. Please google Swadish by Ajay Kumar and you should be able to locate us.
What is coconut cream.
looks lovely gonna try this definately
Let me know how you get on or if any questions
Thanks for the recipe. I always thought a korma has ground almonds. Definitely going to try this though
Hi at what point did you remove the Cardamon pods, bay leafs, cinnamon and cloves, your video doesn't show you doing that.
I saw a bay leaf poking out really late in the cook well after chicken had gone in. It's normal to leave cloves and cardamoms in and serve with them still in. As for the cinnamon, I can only assume he fished that out at some point.
Thank you ☆ I ve wanted to learn this proper Korma for a long time :) subscribed
I am glad to know that you liked the recipe. Thank you for the subscribe 🙏
I had a korma in London that was amazing but it had almonds (or maybe cashews) in it. I know it did because my son, who has a tree nut allergy) reacted to it. Is it uncommon to put nuts in korma?
What can be a substitute for coconut cream or milk?:(
Going to try this today
Nice video , going to try this for the wife n kids 👍
Thank you. Hope you all enjoyed your korma 🙂
Making this on the black sea coast of Turkey. Looks like it will be good
Hope you like the recipe 🙂
@@ChefAjayKumar it was excellent. I had to make a couple of substitutions but the taste and texture was very close to a restaurant korma.
@@qzxerty thats great. I am sure with a little practice you will nail it and your korma will come out better than a takeaway
@@ChefAjayKumar xd takeaway is better but urs is deliciousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
@@clouddash3968 thank you for your compliments ☺
making this tonight ...ive watched a few..thats how i found you ... yep definitely trying yours it stood out ....new sub ....🌟🌟
Thank you and I am delighted to know that my recipe stood out for you.
Can you freeze this?
When do take out the cloves, cinnamon stick, peppers and Bay leaves? Or do you keep them in right to the end?
I just fried them for 20 seconds then took them out and kept the oil in the pan.
I only removed them before adding chicken. You did the right thing. After they have released the flavour you can remove them right away.
@@ChefAjayKumar Hello, Thank you for such a speedy reply.
I cooked your curry the other night and it was amazing.
I would love to see you do recipes like chicken bhuna and chicken tikka masala. Have a great day. 😁😁😁
this sounds amazing, i cant wait to make it but how and where do i get the recipe ?
AL Salam alaikum this was really bussing ngl had to get the naan out for this
Hi ajay I love your recipes I got chrons would you recommend any your recipes that are gentle on stomach?
Love your Scindian (Scottish & Indian) accent
is tin cocnut cream ok
The missus loves korma,so I,m making this for her tonight 👌👌 I,ll pep mine up after I,ve served hers coz I like mine spicy,have you done a vindaloo video mate ??
Wow that looks so delicious 😋😋❤️👌
This looks absolutely delicious.
I’ve a wee suggestion. Could you ever make a peshwari naan recipe just like it’s made in the Indian restaurant ? It’s my favourite thing on the menu and it’d be so fun to recreate it at home!
Thank you for compliments and I will surely do a peshwari naan video soon
@@ChefAjayKumar Thank you. Can’t wait.
fab recipe thanks mate
Mine was watery, any ideas why?
Thanks
Can I also use sunflower oil instead of vegetable and coconut oil?
Thanks, Chef! Delicious, they have great taste in, Glasgow!
Ajay, I've made this several times and it's amazing! Thank you! Tomorrow, I'm cooking this for 12! Any advice on upscaling would be most welcome!!
Can you offer any advice on upscaling please Ajay?
How many people does this serve. I'm planning on making it for 2 adults and my teenage kid.
Awesome recipe
Thank you for your compliments ☺
@@ChefAjayKumar I will try it for the first time on Christmas day. Thanks

And.... How did it come out?
@@rob4433 I'll let you know, I have the ingredients in the freezer but haven't fancied curry yet.
Thanks for the recipe 🙏 mine was a bit to soggy tho
Great recipe. Please help me understand why you choose to add water instead of the coconut milk that you say to discard.
I'm doing for 10 people . Can you help me with quantities of ingredients?
Thought Korma contained almonds?
Stop searching this is it! The best korma recepie on this platform
Thank you mate. I am delighted to know that you loved my recipe 🙂🙏
Hello can you send me the list of ingredients please
This is the craziest accent I've ever heard. Indian + Scottish accent. And I thought Indian + Greek accent was a crazy combo.

could you use coconut milk instead of cream?
Looks amazing
Thank you 😊
Hi, i love this recipe, just wanted to know i could use diced lamb instead of chicken? Thought it was chicken when i defrosted it lol
Absolutely fantastic. Easy to follow and very tasty.
If you put too much water in how can you thicken it up. Cheers.
Very nice 💖
How do you make coconut cream.
155g of creamed coconut block and water to make up to 350ml (for this recipe) and blitz.
No ground almonds??
Looks goood id probably substitute the sugar for monk fruit and water for coconut milk or cashews milk
Oh, now, the written recipe has half a tsp salt in the marinade and 1/2 in the sauce - but I don’t see you adding it in the video. A wee mistook?
He said to “add your chicken with yoghurt, salt and turmeric”.
Hi chef. When you add water, there's no reason why you can't the liquid part from the coconut cream as a substitute (partly) is there?
You can always add that in if enough 🙏
@@ChefAjayKumar thanks chef. I'll grab extra flavour wherever I can 👌😂
@@kwizmon I am sure you will nail it. Just make sure that you don't make the sauce too thick. That doesn't help flavours build up. Add water where needed.
As long as you’re getting a cup and a half of coconut flavour and not 1 cup of coconut and half a cup of nothing :)
How long do you marinate the chicken for? Looks great 👍
Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream. Or does it have to be coconut cream?
This was is a great recipe! I cook several Indian dishes and was looking for a korma dish that was like a fast food chain in Canada called tandori
I am delighted to know that you like my recipes 🙂
