hi vkn, this korma looks delicious . I made chicken 65 on sunday from ur recipe and the result was great. Thanx for the recipe.
VKN, if you add the salt to the chicken & potatoes, doesnt it take a looooooong time for the potatoes to cook? If I'm using potatoes in anything, I add the salt last of all, after the potatoes are done.
Anyway, chicken korma is a national favourite here in the UK - and yours seems much more the authentic version. Going to try it for my husband this weekend :)
Thanks Priya.
Shammi - I used to do the same way adding salt at the end, later observed that chicken and potato take equal cooking time. Adding salt with it in the beginning only improves taste as the salt gets infused well into the chicken pieces.
Hi Vkn,
First of all your blogspot is superb...as i'm not a blogger and just a food lover infact cooking lover.I checked your blog and i found so many interesting and yummy recipes and now want to try your "chicken korma" but in this recipe i found coconut,scrapings(it means fresh one,right)but i couldn't found it nearby so can it be replace with the dessicated coconut the one came in packets?if yes then how much amount i've to use instead of 1 cup.
I really appreciate your help and thanks for giving me some of your time.
Keep up the good work.
Made this today for dinner. My husband loves korma - everytime we eat out for Indian, he scopes the korma. I followed the recipe instructions fairly closely, but I did add a dollop of sour cream, and I think next time I might include cashews. Also, once prepared as directed, I let it simmer in a crock pot for about 4 hours on low heat - the potatoes were very tender, but not too mushy.
I have been looking for a decent korma recipe for a long time. This one was way more than decent - Excellent!!
Thank you.
