Method of preparation to chicken korma :
Mix the chicken well with curd, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Marinate it for at least 1 hour so that the spices get absorbed inside. Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Add cinnamon, bay leaves, and cardamom. Now add onion and fry till golden brown. Then add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies; cook for 2-3 minutes. Add marinated chicken and fry on high flame for 5-6 minutes. Now cover and let the chicken cook on low flame for 20-25 minutes. If needed, you can add some water. Now add cashew or almond paste to it; also add cream. Add garam masala, coriander powder, and black pepper powder, and cook for 5 minutes. Cook till the oil starts floating on top. Sprinkle green coriander and serve chicken korma with hot naan, paratha, or basmati rice. If you want, you can add a few drops of saffron or rose water to the gravy for a royal taste. Using boneless pieces with chicken makes the gravy thicker and creamier. Beat the curd and add it; it will not split.
