Updated on October, 9th 2019

Creative innovation was a specialty of Old Delhi cuisine, and that is evident in this recipe. Qorma with tender pieces of meat napped in a rich gravy of and slow cooked to perfection As I belongs to Delhi wala family, so today I though to share all time famous Delhi Korma recipe.

This chicken qorma recipe is one of the best made with minimum ingredients that one can find in most Asian kitchens. This tastes best after 2 hours of preparation as the meat absorbs the flavors of spices used. 

Bone-in meat tastes best in this recipe as the juices from the bones seep to the korma and make the gravy delicious. Qorma curry gets its creamy texture from yogurt, traditional korma recipe does not use any kind of starch to thicken the curry and the aroma comes from the fried onion, so just take care to fry the onions evenly.
