Chicken Korma is a rich and creamy Indian curry made with tender chicken, aromatic whole spices, fried onions, yogurt, and cashews. The sauce is smooth, mildly spiced, and deeply flavorful, with a subtle sweetness from the caramelized onions and nuttiness from the cashews. It is a comforting curry that pairs especially well with basmati rice or naan.
