Instructions
- 1
Fry Onions (Birista): Heat 3 tbsp ghee or oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Fry the sliced onions slowly until they are deeply browned and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- 2
Blend the Base: Once the fried onions have cooled slightly, place them in a blender along with the yogurt and a splash of water. Blend into a completely smooth brown paste.
- 3
Sear the Chicken: In the same pot with the leftover onion oil, add the cardamom pods, 2 cloves, and a cinnamon stick. Add the chicken chunks and 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the chicken is browned on all sides.
- 4
Cook with Yogurt Paste: Reduce the heat to low. Pour the onion-yogurt paste over the chicken. Add 1 tsp coriander powder and 1/2 tsp garam masala. Stir continuously until it reaches a simmer to prevent the yogurt from splitting.
- 5
Add Cashew Paste: Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the cashew paste (made by blending soaked cashews) and 1/2 cup of water.
- 6
Simmer and Finish: Let the korma simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is tender and a thick, creamy, rich gravy has formed, with oil separating at the edges. Garnish with a few toasted almonds.
