Marinate chicken with all the rest of the ingredients mentioned except coriander and mint leaves.
Set aside for an hour.
Heat oil in a cooking pot and add in the whole spices like Cinnamon, Cardamom, Caraway seeds, Cloves and Star Anise.
Now add the Qorma paste to it. Saute it until the oil separates.
Now add the marinated chicken to it and allow it to cook on a medium high heat with a lid on until done for almost 25 minutes or accordingly.
There is absolutely no need of any water as there is yoghurt in it and as such it leaves a lot of water.
Cook until a desired consistency is obtained of one's own choice.
The Qormas are generally thick with juicy succulent pieces of meat.
Garnish with chopped coriander and mint leaves.
Serve it hot with naan or baghara chawal.
