This chicken kurma or chicken khurma is so delicious and tastes amazing with rice or bagara rice or pulao recipes. It has a lot of ingredients that go into making this recipe and I must say that this is a must try chicken curry recipe.

Chicken kurma recipe here is made using onion paste, dry fruits paste and yogurt and is almost like a mughlai chicken recipe. Here chicken has been slowly cooked for good flavor with lots of spices and masala paste.

Chicken korma can be made in various ways and this recipe is one among them. Chicken curries and chicken korma recipes can be made with many variations and making chicken dishes in every unique way is a delight for me.

This chicken recipe needs some patience to make the masala, deep fry the onions and slowly cooking the chicken for a long time.

This chicken korma can be made thick or thin depending on how one prefers to make the dish. I prefer to keep it medium and accordingly  water can be added.

The korma recipe is always a creamy, juicy kind of a recipe as it needs rich ingredients into making it. This is a perfect recipe to make during occasions and festivals.

Chicken curries are always a preference during gatherings and festivals and this recipe can be made during eid as well. These kind of korma recipes are quite common in muslim households and such recipes were common during mughal era too.

Nizams and Nawabs preferred to eat rich and nutritious cuisines and this chicken korma recipe  is similar to such recipes.  This surely is a lip smacking recipe.

    The use of lemon juice is not mentioned in the recipe. It’s very much incomplete.
