Chicken Korma

This is a very tasty dish. I was even missing a few ingredients, the cloves and green cardamon (i had to use ground). Be very careful not to burn the onions. Watch them closely when it gets close to time for them to be done. Do Not use packaged saffron rice if you can't find any saffron. Use Jasmine or Basmati instead.
