Ingredients
- ¼ cup cashew parts
- ¼ cup bubbling water
- 3 cloves garlic, stripped
- 1 (1/2-inch) piece new ginger root, stripped and slashed.
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cove leaves, squashed
- 1 enormous onion, hacked
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon bean stew powder
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken bosom parts - destroyed
- ¼ cup pureed tomatoes.
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ cup weighty cream
- ½ cup plain yogurt

Cooking Tips:
Step 1:
Place the cashews in a little bowl, and pour bubbling water over the nuts. Save to the side for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the garlic and ginger in a food processor and mix until smooth. Sit on one side.
Step 2:
Heat oil in a skillet on medium intensity. Sear narrows leaves in hot oil for 30 seconds. Mix in the onion, and cook until relaxed, around 3 to 5 minutes. Blend in the garlic/ginger glue, and season with coriander, garam masala, cumin, turmeric and bean stew powder. Mix in the chicken, and cook for around 5 minutes. Pour in pureed tomatoes and chicken stock. Cover, decrease intensity, and stew for 15 minutes, mixing sporadically.
Step 3:
In the mean time, place the cashews, alongside the water they were absorbed, and the cream and yogurt in a food processor. Process until smooth.
Step 4:
Mix the cashew combination into the chicken and onion. Stew for 15 minutes, blending at times. Mix in the cornstarch combination, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Fry onions and spices: In a hot pan, fry finely chopped onions until golden brown. This step adds rich flavor to the korma. Add the ground spices and cook them along with the onions for a minute or two, to infuse the flavors.
Slow cooking for depth of flavor: Korma is traditionally cooked over low heat for a long period of time to infuse flavor and tenderize the meat. Simmer the korma over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat or vegetables are cooked to your desired consistency.
