Restaurant style chicken korma/British chicken korma 

I’ve tried cooking dozens of different recipes to perfect the taste of a restaurant korma and whilst some have been really good, this is in my opinion is the best yet - and the easiest. No special ingredients, no nuts, no thick cream (except the coconut cream) and no chopping of onions! Forget my portfolio of tried and tested Korma recipes - this has now become my family favourite. I was originally going to cook a Kashmiri curry with added fresh fruit but did this curry and at the end just on a very gentle heat, added some fresh lychees and banana chunks - delicious. Thank you for your good, clear instructions and tips.

I'm drunk and I'm making this recipe, and I literally just noticed this guys accent isn't Indian, it's SCO-ISH. LMFAO

Thank you, Chef, I love your recipes, I am from Mexico but I do love Indian Food very tasty and love the variety of healthy spices and ingredients added to the recipes

I just made this and have to give it 5 stars! I live abroad now and there is nowhere here that does a chicken korma, of all the recipes I have tried on RU-vid this is the only one which tastes EXACTLY like they make in Indian Restaurants in the UK 😊 thank you very much!

Made this tonight for my very fussy step son who won’t eat any vegetables. onion is his worst. He absolutely loved it. Said it was the best he has ever tasted. Love the hidden veg haha. Thank you for the recipe.

Oh my days, I made this and it is awesome!! Thanks so much for the recipe, sometimes you just need total comfort food and this is it.

Made this for my daughter as she's not a big spicy fan, it was without a doubt the best korma I've ever cooked, superb!

My first husband was from Glasgow and his family immigrated to the States when he was 16, He became a US citizen and stayed in the US, but his parents moved back to Glasgow when they retired. I had the opportunity to visit them on a trip to Scotland and they introduced me to Indian cuisine. I had Chicken Korma and I fell in love with it! After returning to the States I made it my mission to find Chicken Korma at various Indian restaurants here but none of them compared to what I had eaten in Glasgow. I can’t wait to make this and I am keeping my fingers crossed that my search is now over and I can have it anytime my heart desires! Thank you!

I love Indian food ❤ Pasanda , Korma and Tikka Masala are my favourites . Mild and creamy 😃

Live in Australia found this recipe and have made it about 7 times now. Saved the video to my play list me and my wife love it. Thanks for sharing so simple!

So under rated there are some really great tips for cooking in general on his videos. It looks just like what you get at the best local restaurants.

Thank you so much for this great recipe! It has become my go to for korma. I add ground fresh coriander just because I love coriander but it doesn’t need it/ It’s a fabulous recipe! Now I don’t need to ask my Indian relatives who hate giving out recipes lol

Made this tonight for Valentine’s Day and it was delicious! I would say you could use double the amount of chicken. There was so much sauce!

Thank you Chef Kumar. I love the one I get at the restaurant near my house; they do add to it raisins and almonds! It tastes fabulous! I will try your recipe, perhaps with that added twist. धन्यवाद

finally a good and to the point explanation. Usually videos for indian food are waaaaay too long

Stop searching this is it! The best korma recepie on this platform

This looks amazing I will be making it this wee. Thank you.

Thank you for showing how to cook chicken korma with clear directions, and what-to-dos, what-not-to-dos! I love, love all kinds of curries, and I feel lucky to come across your channel today. 😊Cheers!

I made this last weekend and it was absolutely delicious! I'm make your tikka masala tomorrow and have just marinated my chicken, can't wait! Thank you for the recipes Chef!

Done it a couple of times very simple well worth doing better than paying for take away

The advice on getting the taste right is really useful.

This was absolutely delicious, exactly like takeaway 😀 thank you

I am from Manchester and really like your respies. Well executed and cooked really well. Like your Scottish Accent. Keep it up chef.

Just made this tonight for the family and it's just received the chef's kiss. Really nice. Will definitely cook this again 👌thank you for sharing

Made this yesterday, was absolutely fantastic!

Can really hear the Scotland in your accent, thank you for this recipe... one of my favourite dishes

This looks pretty easy. Great tutorial.

Really Your Recipes Are Really Unique And Delicious...

I made this and it tasted amazing. Very simple too.

I’m Scottish and I love Scottish Indian people .x

Thank you chef, I’ll try this tonight. Best wishes from Sweden!

Making this on the black sea coast of Turkey. Looks like it will be good

HI. JUST SUBSCRIBED REALLY LIKED THE WAY YO DONE YOUR KORMA I WILL BE TRYING ....LOOKING FORWARD TILL THE REST OF YOUR DISHES ....THANKS!

This looks absolutely delicious. I’ve a wee suggestion. Could you ever make a peshwari naan recipe just like it’s made in the Indian restaurant ? It’s my favourite thing on the menu and it’d be so fun to recreate it at home!

All I can say wow you got the wow factor :))magically made smoothest taste and gentle taste not too spice or angrily hot just subtle. Everything in it creamy and sweet springly .so professionally spoken and simplified manner:)thanks and happy new year

Made this the other day and loved it! Thanks for sharing !

This looks great! I will give it a go. Always thought this had crushed almonds in it though?

Love your Scindian (Scottish & Indian) accent

I followed your recipe and the Korma tasted fantastic. 💯👌

Looks lovely

That looks fabulous chef. Thank you.👍🏼

This was epic cooked it tonight have just moved abroad and it was so nice to have something that reminded me of home! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

Top chef 10/10

Thanks, Chef! Delicious, they have great taste in, Glasgow!

Going to try this today

fab recipe thanks mate

looks lovely gonna try this definately

I made it today and it was 😋 delicious. Thanks to u buddy from Canada 🇨🇦.

How long should you marinate the chicken for?

Wow that looks so delicious 😋😋❤️👌

Amazing recipe!

I'm cooking this tonight for my boyfriend! It looks so yummy! I'm marinating my chicken right now! I'll let you know how it turns out! 😊😊😊

A little thank you feedback for you, Ajay.. a recipe from Mombasa. To a pint of coconut water add cod for two, half a medium red onion and a big tomato quartered, in a covered casserole, 180 in the oven.. very nourishing, sweet and tasty. Enjoy!

I'm cooking it right now. Thank you

Thank you ☆ I ve wanted to learn this proper Korma for a long time :) subscribed

Amazing thankyou tastes gorgeous 😊👍👌

This recipe is awesome...

Hi, thanks I’m going to attempt this for tonight, your Korma looks delicious. Kindest regards. Daniel

Ah, no. After marinating the chuck, sear it in a blisteringly hot pan, THEN add it into the gravy. A simple step for so much more flavour.

Thanks for the recipe. I always thought a korma has ground almonds. Definitely going to try this though

I made a nice Korma following your steps, although I added ground almonds. If I eat in a sandwich the next day, is that technically a Coronation chicken sandwich?

I made this at the weekend and it was delicious thank you

Looks amazing

Just realised your the ajay from swadish so edited my comment to say hi and Awrighty ajay hope your good and family are good swadish is the best indian restaurant in the UK no cheet sauces as you see in my comment i like authentic food so your restaurantis always a choice lets get GBM 2025 in the bag it should have been yours enough said you still number 1. never made a takeaway style korma before i usually make either a south indian or a mughli korma i have always preferred authentic to takeaway food but my neighbour wants me to make them a korma they are used to takeaway so as you know bit of a taste difference so i will be making this recipe. The chicken is getting marrinaded soon,and watching this i just realised that takeaways are really a mix of both north and south north with the onion and south with the coconut anyway iam making your recipe plus i will be doing a taster dish of both mughli north indian/pakistani and south indian authentic dishes so i can educate them on authentic food.❤

Ajay, I've made this several times and it's amazing! Thank you! Tomorrow, I'm cooking this for 12! Any advice on upscaling would be most welcome!!

gonna cook tonight thx

I'm looking forward to trying this. I've followed quite a few recipes so far and it's been nothing like a korma from a takeaway or even a supermarket ready meal. Each time, it's been horribly sickly, but yours has lots more onions and less fat, which definitely seems better!

Awesome recipe

Really delicious thanks so much

AL Salam alaikum this was really bussing ngl had to get the naan out for this

Hi at what point did you remove the Cardamon pods, bay leafs, cinnamon and cloves, your video doesn't show you doing that.

If I could give you ten thumbs up, I would. Thank you for such a delicious recipe, we loved it! 👍😋😋😋

just made this - yum yum yum and yum. How do i make it a weeee bit hotter (medium)?

Yum

Looks goood id probably substitute the sugar for monk fruit and water for coconut milk or cashews milk

Very nice 💖

Absolutely fantastic. Easy to follow and very tasty. If you put too much water in how can you thicken it up. Cheers.

making this tonight ...ive watched a few..thats how i found you ... yep definitely trying yours it stood out ....new sub ....🌟🌟

The missus loves korma,so I,m making this for her tonight 👌👌 I,ll pep mine up after I,ve served hers coz I like mine spicy,have you done a vindaloo video mate ??

Do you recommend leaving the chicken in the marinate overnight? I have never heard of things being overly marinated so I would guess it is ok?

Hi ajay I love your recipes I got chrons would you recommend any your recipes that are gentle on stomach?

this sounds amazing, i cant wait to make it but how and where do i get the recipe ?

How long do you marinate the chicken for? Looks great 👍

This was is a great recipe! I cook several Indian dishes and was looking for a korma dish that was like a fast food chain in Canada called tandori

What can be a substitute for coconut cream or milk?:(

Hloo chef I live in Birmingham I am learning the work of curry chef and your this curry is Soo helpful too me and I made it's it's Soo good .Thank you Soo much

I made this and it tastes just like the one we buy from our local restaurant. Very pleased, but we do love the restaurant experience as a treat. PS. I LOVE HIS ACCENT! This is what I love about the UK - Meghan Markle is such a liar! 😍💕👍🥰🇬🇧

Thought Korma contained almonds?

Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream. Or does it have to be coconut cream?

Greetings from Scotland. ; )

1:00 I knew I was following a good recipe when I saw the generous/necessary amount of oil needed for the recipe. Most recipes I’ve seen in You Tube use one or two tablespoons, not enough for the amounts of ingredients to cook. Thanks for sharing.

This was soooo good, came out just like a restaurant korma. Only thing I couldn't figure out is where to put the 1/2 tsp salt. I just put it with the sugar in the end.

I had a korma in London that was amazing but it had almonds (or maybe cashews) in it. I know it did because my son, who has a tree nut allergy) reacted to it. Is it uncommon to put nuts in korma?

Can I also use sunflower oil instead of vegetable and coconut oil?

Great skills Chef Ajay. Indian cuisine one of my favourite foods. Is it easy to prepare home made coconut cream? What's your method?

Thanks for the recipe 🙏 mine was a bit to soggy tho

Will it taste the same if you replace coconut cream with Greek yoghurt/whipping cream? Will the alternatives reduce the calories or are they relatively the same? This looks great btw, I so want to try this! Thanks!

Looks awesome. Surprised there aren’t any almonds
