White Chicken Korma recipe or the safed murgh kurma is a delicious curry which is pretty much white in color.
The regular spices that we add in other curries are not added here. The spices like red chilli powder, black pepper powder or turmeric are totally not added in this curry. These spices generally give the dish it’s color. But here we have totally omitted them and added white pepper powder with green chilli.
Hence the over powering color is totally missing in this White Chicken Korma recipe or the safed murgh kurma. And you can guess how the dish gets it’s name.
We even add the cream to this White Chicken Korma recipe. It not only adds to the color, but enhances the taste of the safed murgh kurma to another level.
Like most of my recipes, this doesn’t take much rocket science. It is pretty simple to make and yet so awesome to taste.
But be sure to marinate the chicken well. Overnight marination will yield best results. But if you are short on time then you can always marinate for 4 – 6 hours. The more you marinate, the more the White Chicken Korma recipe will be softer.
The White Chicken Korma recipe is truly a party dish. You can do the marination a day before and yield up this fantastic dish that goes so well with any kind of Indian Breads. Be it roti, paratha or Indian Naan Bread Recipe.
In the recipe you will see that I have fried the onions and marinated this along with other ingredients. But you can also fry them just before you start preparing the dish.
Tip:
Remember to add the cream at the end and not to over cook it. If you overcook the cream, it will lose it’s perfect taste and flavor.
