BANGLADESHI CHICKEN KORMA



Bangladeshi Chicken Korma image

Homestyle Bangladeshi chicken korma is likely more aromatic, flavorful, and deeply chicken-flavored than the heavy, creamy versions served in Indian restaurants. This recipe, adapted from Shama Mubdi, is also incredibly easy to make: You just stir everything together in a pot and turn on the heat. A last-minute addition of butter-fried onions adds sweet complexity. Serve with basmati rice and salad or South Asian pickles.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds skinless, bone-in chicken pieces (preferably dark meat)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 medium onion, peeled
1 1 1/2-inch knob of ginger, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup whole-milk yogurt
4 to 6 green cardamom pods, cracked open
3 to 5 cloves
2 bay leaves
1 3-inch stick cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 to 3 small hot green chiles (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a medium Dutch oven, and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Thinly slice 1/4 of the onion, and set aside. Roughly chop the rest of the onion, and purée it in a blender with the ginger, garlic and 3 tablespoons of water, until smooth. Add splashes of water to keep it moving, if necessary.
  • Combine the onion purée with the chicken, yogurt, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon and peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring. Cover the pot until the chicken releases its juices, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Uncover the pot, and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring and flipping the chicken occasionally, until tender and the sauce is gravylike in consistency, about 35 minutes. Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding water or cooking it down. Stir in the sugar. Pierce the chiles with a knife, then add them. Season to taste with salt. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. After it foams, add the sliced onions, and cook, stirring, until they are richly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt. Add the onion mixture to the korma. Serve with steamed basmati rice.

Time 1h40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

600 g onions
6 garlic cloves
6 pieces ginger (dice sized)
2 tablespoons tomato puree
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
450 g chicken breasts
200 ml single cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons dry coconut powder (desiccated coconut ground in food processor)
2 teaspoons almond powder (flaked almonds ground in food processor)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the curry base: Roughly chop the onions and place in a large saucepan with the garlic and ginger.
  • Cover with water (approx 800ml), bring to the boil and cover.
  • Continue to simmer on a low-medium heat for 30-35 minutes until much of the water has reduced.
  • Stir in the salt, spices, tomato puree and 3 teaspoons of oil.
  • Simmer for a further 10 minutes.
  • Take the saucepan off the heat and use a hand blender or upright blender to blend into a smooth gravy.
  • Divide the curry base into 3 x 225ml portions and store in the fridge or freezer.
  • Now for the chicken korma part! Heat the 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan on a medium heat and cook the diced chicken breast until sealed.
  • Add one portion of curry base (225ml) and stir on a medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • Next, add the coconut powder, almond powder, sugar and stir for a further minute.
  • Stir in the single cream and continue to simmer on a medium- low heat for 15 minutes, stirring often.
  • Once the curry has thickened, turn off the heat, serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the most tender and succulent results.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • Use a good quality yogurt for the marinade and sauce. Greek yogurt or whole milk yogurt will give the best results.
  • Don't skimp on the spices. Korma is a richly spiced dish, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Toast the spices before using to bring out their full flavor.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the korma. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Simmer the korma for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the korma with rice, naan, or roti.

Conclusion:

Chicken korma is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its rich, creamy sauce and tender chicken, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give chicken korma a try. You won't be disappointed!
