Soak the almonds in hot water for 10 minutes, peel them, and blend smoothly with the yogurt.
Finely chop the onions, garlic, and ginger.
Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a pot and fry the onions for 9 minutes, until light brown.
Add the garlic, ginger, garam masala, coriander, and turmeric, then toss for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces and cook for 6 minutes, until the surfaces take on color.
Add the almond yogurt and salt, then cook over low heat for 25 minutes.
Stir in the cream and heat the sauce for 5 minutes, until glossy.
Rest the murgh korma for 5 minutes and serve with rice.
💡 Tip: Before adding the yogurt to the pot, temper it with 2 spoonfuls of warm sauce; the korma sauce stays glossy without curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve murgh korma with basmati rice, optional cucumber raita, and thin lavash.
