Hen Korma

Caramelized onions and cashews are pureed with yogurt to type a creamy, barely candy sauce for braising rooster thigh items. This model of the favored Indian curry will get a triple dose of cumin — floor cumin within the yogurt marinade, a splash of garam masala simply earlier than serving, and an elective sprinkling of umami-packed wild mountain cumin seeds to complete. 

What’s wild mountain cumin?

Wild mountain cumin seeds, harvested from the mountains of Afghanistan, have a vivid and savory taste. The seeds are smaller and softer than most different varieties of cumin, so they’re gratifying to eat complete. Discover wild mountain cumin seeds at specialty spice shops or on-line at burlapandbarrel.com.

Notes from the Meals & Wine Check Kitchen

Go for a yogurt with about 5% fats, akin to Fage. Yogurts with increased fats percentages may cause the sauce to separate because it simmers. 

Prompt pairing

Attempt a full-bodied rosé, akin to Justin Rosé, with this hearty curry.

Make forward

Whereas the korma is scrumptious served with heat naan instantly after cooking, it will get even higher after a day within the fridge. Korma will be saved in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as three days.
