Shahi chicken korma

Ingredients

1/2 cup oil
1 cardamom
1 tsp chilli powder
1 kg chicken pieces
1 tsp coriander powder
1 pinch nutmeg (jaifal)
2 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
4 green cardamoms
5 tbsp yoghurt
5 onions, medium-sized
8 cloves
10 whole black peppers
Salt to taste
A few drops of khewra essence


Method

Slice the onions finely and fry on low flame till they are golden-brown. Remove the fried onion from the oil and keep aside. Now add all the spices, except nutmeg and yoghurt, in the oil and add a little water to prevent burning. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces and fry for a couple of minutes on high flame.

Add about a cup of water, or as much as needed, and cover. Now crush the fried onions and mix with yoghurt, and add to the chicken. Mix well, cover and cook at medium flame till the chicken is done. Add a little water if the gravy is too dry. Just before taking off the heat, add a pinch of nutmeg and a few drops of khewra essence. Garnish with finely cut ginger and coriander leaves.
