Chicken Qomra quickly became a staple of Mughlai cuisine and can often be found on menus of Indian restaurants today.
While Chicken Qorma is typically made with chicken breasts or thighs, some recipes call for lamb or goat meat. The meat is cooked in a flavorful gravy made with onion, tomatoes, yogurt, and various spices. The resulting dish is creamy and often served with rice or roti.
There are many ways to make Chicken Qorma. The traditional method is to slow-cook the dish over a low flame, allowing the flavors to marry and develop.
