First, I heat the pan and add the oil. Sauté onions for 2 mins until golden.
To elevate the gravy, I'm adding garlic-ginger paste and garam masala. Keep the flame medium, and stir for a moment, savor the enticing aroma.
Toss the chicken and mix well so it is coated perfectly. Pour a splash of water. It helps the mixture blend easily. Now, wait 2 minutes for that golden hue.
Now, my chicken's soaked up the garam masala goodness. Time for the real deal – black pepper. It adds zest, mild spice, and a comforting warmth. Stir gently and simmer for a minute.
Add the yogurt to the korma; it will transform the color and add creaminess. Simmer for 5 minutes; the yogurt's moisture enhances the juiciness and tenderness of the chicken pieces. Also, cover the top so that spices infuse better.
Lift the lid, and pour half a cup of water. Simmer for a minute.
Now, I'm adding the dairy cream; it's a real game-changer, and trust me, you'll love the taste it brings. Also, I'm sprinkling some ginger slices and green chilies for that final garnish.
