I have a dear friend and fellow chef from Delhi. He tried to explain the difference between KORMA and KURMA. I ddidn't get it. His version has coconut and cashews and not tomato or chili powder since he wants a white color rather than the redish color normally associated with curry dishes.


Yes , you are right .I do get confused when bay leaves or dried coconut being added . Kurma is creamy and white in colour and sometimes spelt kormaa, qorma, khorma, or kurma . The reason I serve it with flavoured rice is to keep the original colour of the rice as much as possible even when the kurma is mixed . I agree with you , abit of cashew nuts/almonds and coconut milk / yogurt are used .But , I try to avoid coconut and potatoes as much as possible in my diet and I substitute chilli pwd with green chillies , ginger and white pepper pwd to avoid the red colour but to maintain the spiciness ( again kurma is meant to be mild and not very spicy ).But even the 2 tbsp of ghee makes the dish oily for me , so I want a spicy dish to go along . The corriander pwd , a tiny tomatoe and roasting the chicken takes away the white colour abit , but it gives a nice flavour and goes really well with the ghee rice . Like I said , this is my own recipe and so , I played around abit : )


This sounds delicious... I love the spice combinations. I will put this on my list to try... Jim
