THE FLAVORFUL CHICKEN KORMA/KORMA AYAM

A very flavorful Indian curry popular among Malaysian especially if you are Nasi Kandar lovers. You can make it thick or thin or you can make it mild or fiery hot. It all depends on your preference. Easy to prepare especially with the store bought masala I used Baba's Korma Powder. You can even add vegetables if you wish too, potatoes and carrots are the favourites. This chicken korma serves best with white plain rice or briyani.
