Chicken Curry with Korma Masala Powder

Thank you, Siddharth Shirali couldn't get Shaan korma masala powder, so I settled for Hakkim korma masala powder. Created my own version of chicken curry using Hakkim korma masala powder.

This Chicken Curry with Korma Masala recipe brings together the richness of a ground paste made with onions, cashew nuts, and desiccated coconut, combined with the aromatic korma masala. When I couldn’t get my hands on Shaan korma masala, I opted for Hakkim korma masala powder, The result was satisfying.
