Zubereitung

1
Combine the chicken, 90 g of the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, and 1 teaspoon of garam masala in a bowl. Mix until coated, then set aside for 15 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
2
Heat a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until lightly golden and nutty-smelling. Transfer them to a plate.
3
Add the oil to the same pan. Saute the onion with a pinch of salt for 7–9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden at the edges. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
4
Stir in the remaining garam masala, coriander, and turmeric. Cook for 30 seconds, just until the spices smell fragrant and coat the onion.
5
Return the toasted almonds to the pan with the chicken stock and honey. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, then blend the mixture with an immersion blender until as smooth as possible.

6
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the marinated chicken and any marinade, stirring to coat. Cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes, stirring twice, until the thickest piece reaches 74°C and the sauce is gently bubbling.
7
Remove the lid and stir in the remaining 90 g of yogurt, one spoonful at a time. Simmer uncovered for 3–5 minutes until the sauce lightly coats the chicken; do not boil vigorously.
8
Taste and adjust the salt and lemon if needed. Rest the korma for 5 minutes off the heat, then scatter over the cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

Yogurt tenderizes the chicken while almonds give the sauce body and a polished, creamy texture. Blooming the spices in the onion base creates depth without relying on excessive heat.
