What is Korma food?
While making korma recipe, it would be good to know what actually korma is. So here is some basic description about korma curry.
Korma is a sort of creamy meat dish which is prepared using saffron, cardamom and several other spices. Korma was originated in the kitchens of Mughal emperors of India. 1500 A.D was the first time when korma was cooked by a cook of Mughal King Akbar. It is also believed that korma was a union of Indian and Persian cooking cuisines, introduced by Rajput employees of Jodha (Akbar's wife).
The dish was named originally 'Kurma' after the name of a prominent tribe of Rajputs. The ingredients used in original korma recipe were: mutton, yogurt, cardamom, ginger, black peppercorns and almonds.
Almonds are soaked in wate for whole night, then peeled and crushed which are then added to korma. Turmeric is also used these days in korma recipes however it's not found in the history of royal kitchens.

Chicken Korma is very tasty. It is more tasty with tandoori roti. It is favorite dish of Pakistan. It is available in many restaurants with delicious taste. I cook this Chicken Korma in home through your effort. And enjoyed very well with friends. Thank you....
It is a wonderful thing with a wonderful gravy. I like kormas of all meats but my most favorite one is chicken. I also like chicken stew, chicken jalfrezi and broast. But in gravy dishes, chicken qorma' is the best. and I am learning to cook a perfect one. Soon I will be cooking it myself.
qorma to meri sab se ziada pasand ki dish hai . mai banati rehti hon mutton or chicken ka korma . aksar to aisa banta hai ke ghar walay ungliya chatte hi reh jate hain . jis din mai is tarhan ki koi khas dish banati hon hum tandoor se rotiyan mangwa lete han . us se to maza or do bala ho jata hai
hmm. its the most scrumptious thing i have eaten in my life. I even don't want to have a piece of chicken in it but to enjoy its gravy. Real thick gravy is very tasteful and when I eat it with tandoori naan. ummmm! can't express the feeling :) <3
