Today, it was a combination of rain and sunshine and I was hoping to see a rainbow. I wasn&#8217;t disappointed. After a long wait, a huge rainbow appeared and I ran outside with my camera and clicked a few pictures of it. I drenched in rain, enjoyed the sunshine and the rainbow, what a lovely day it&#8217;s been. Simple pleasures of life!

I&#8217;ve always had a soft corner towards chicken korma. Kormas have a rich and tantalizing flavors. Korma gravy is usually made rich with yogurt, cream, coconut milk, almond paste, cashew nut paste or a combination of these. I mostly use coconut milk, cashew nut paste or almond paste. This time, I combined almond and coconut milk to make the gravy. I cannot explain how delicious this dish tasted, you have to make it and experience how your tastebuds go crazy over this korma.<\/p>\n<p>Recipe for making Cashew Chicken Korma, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/cashew-chicken-korma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For making, easy Chicken Korma with just coconut milk,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/chicken-in-ground-pepper-coconut-sauce-easy-chicken-korma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For mixed vegetable korma, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/mixed-vegetable-korma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17361\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/chicken-korma-with-almonds.jpg\" alt=\"chicken korma with almonds\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/chicken-korma-with-almonds.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/chicken-korma-with-almonds-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/chicken-almond-korma.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken Almond Korma- Chicken in Almond Gravy<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT10M\">10 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT35M\">35 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For marinating chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Boneless chicken breast, cubed- 2 breasts ( or use bone-in pieces)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger-garlic paste- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fennel powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To puree[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Almonds, blanched- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut milk- 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making Korma[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cardamom- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cloves-1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Bay leaf- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, cut long and thin- 1 large<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chilies, halved- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fennel powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 2 handfuls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a bowl, combine all the above mentioned ingredients &#8220;for marinating chicken&#8221;.
