Mughlai Chicken Korma with step by step photos. Mild spiced, rich, delicious and easy to make ! It’s happy time my parents have come to visit me. Hence, I made this special dish for them. Along with Mughlai Chicken Korma I made crispy fried chicken, rice and served with pav.
Coming back to Mughlai Chicken Korma it’s easy. Tastes great with pav, paratha and rice. Mainly yogurt, some whole spices, desiccated coconut, almond paste and coriander leaves goes in making this dish. Potatoes are not added to the authentic dish however I have added them as we love potatoes in chicken curry. So it’s optional to add potatoes.
I am waiting for hubby to taste as made this for the first time. He is my best critic so anxiously await for his reaction and feedback. I am feeling very happy and positive today sometimes we all do right??? The wait is over he loved the curry 🙂 🙂 am so happy….
