Dt. 6th June, 2020.
#RecipeOfTheDay "Chicken Korma" is a exotic Indian Mughali curry made up with royal ingredients almonds, cashewnuts, being further cooked in Yogurt sauce giving it a super creamy texture to the Gravy.
The base of this gravy is ofcourse Onion Puree, some whole garam masala and ginger-garlic paste, like any other gravy. It taste equally good with any bread and steamed rice. To finish the gravy we add some Ghee as it completely elevates the flavors... Making it super delicious and tempting.
