Chicken Korma

When I first started cooking, Butter chicken was my go-to Indian curry to have with naan or paratha or any Indian roti. Because that was the only Indian curry I knew to make. I wanted to learn some new dishes and I tried so many over time. Some recipes turned out really good and some recipes were not. This Chicken Korma recipe is definitely a keeper because one, it’s sooo delicious and two, I always have these ingredients in my pantry. The initial Chicken Korma recipe is from a youtube channel called “food passion with Kulsum” and this is my version of that recipe.
