27 Reviews of Chicken Korma

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

Tried with milk and yogurt as a substitute for the buttermilk and the yogurt was by far the best. Don't use Lite Yogurt as it tends to separate.

I was disappointed by this. The one change that I made was that I used some drained yogurt in place of the buttermilk, and I also didn't have any fresh cilantro for the end. The drained yogurt did separate and make the dish not so pretty, but that was expected. Mostly, I was pretty disappointed by the flavor. The spices did not come through nearly as much as I had expected from the quantities in the dish. It was not spicy at all. A dash more of salt and pepper helped, but I wanted it to be creamier. Also, most kormas I've had before have a coconut or nutty component, and that was lacking in this dish. If you are experience with Indian cuisine, you might not find this dish very satisfying.

This was simply a delightful recipe. The sauce is wonderfully aromatic and rich, with great flavor. I did cut back on the oil (2 tsp) and salt (1/4 tsp) & used low fat buttermilk for dietary reasons with good results. Thank you Najwa for sharing the recipe. It is one I am sure to make again.

Excellent dish, very spicy. My kitchen smelled like an Indian restaurant, according to my appreciative husband.

Great recipe. I substituted lemon and skimmed milk as I didn't have buttermilk. It was great. I have done it before using coconut milk, but because my DH cannot have any added fat, I was a bit hesitant of doing another kind of korma. This one was great. Great taste, and the aroma had my neighbour asking me what I was cooking Thanks for posting

WOW!! I really think the buttermilk makes a big difference. I went out of my way to purchase some just for this recipe. My husband (who is indian) said this is his new favorite chicken korma recipe. I added a little more dried hot peppers for more of kick. But this recipe was perfect!
