SAFFRON CHICKEN KORMA
The word "korma" refers less to composition of the dish itself and more the cooking method applied - essentially, the style of cooking in a korma is a slow, long braise in the spices, rather than adding the chicken pieces into the sauce at the end. This bring out the richness of the dish as the chicken is steeped in the flavors of the spices for an extended duration.
