Not at all what a Korma dish should taste like. Name aside, it was alright, but nothing like korma - no smoothness, no cashewey nuttyness.

    This is the worst Chicken Korma recipe ever. I have eaten at Indian Restaurants literally all over the world and this recipe is nothing close to any Chicken Korma dish I have ever had. Chicken Korma is my favorite dish and this is by far the worst. I attempted this recipe 6 different times and modified it slightly the 4-6th times. There is too much cinnamon and cloves. The nutty flavor and smooth creamy texture that is the trademark of a true Chicken Korma is non-existent. I tried grinding raw almonds in a food processor to make give it that nutty flavor and it was overpowered by the cinnamon and cloves. Simply Aweful!

    This was delicious! I don't have much experience with cooking Indian food, but this was not difficult to prepare. I didn't have any buttermilk, so substituted yogurt and it worked well. -Chris
