Chicken Korma Curry

Chicken Korma is a popular dish in Bangladesh & other parts of Asia. There are many variations of this dish depending on the level of sweetness and hotness preferred by different people. This preparation is not very sweet and medium hot as I used mild Green chillis. Add more sugar if you prefer so and skip on some Chillis if you like it that way.

Chicken – 1kg

White onion chopped – 1 medium

White onion paste – 1&1/2 medium
