Shahi Chicken Korma is a dish that benefits from slow cooking and a little patience, which makes it a perfect candidate for working ahead. Preparing some elements of the dish in advance can enhance its flavors. You can marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator, to allow the spices to permeate the meat thoroughly. The ground spice mix, ginger-garlic paste, and the nuts and poppy seed paste can also be prepared beforehand. Furthermore, you can cook the korma entirely and refrigerate it, as the flavors often develop and intensify over time. When ready to serve, gently reheat the korma on the stove, adding a little water if necessary to adjust the consistency.
