Chicken braised gently in a fragrant cashew, yogurt and cream gravy scented with cardamom. Served fresh at Desi Swag East Indian Cuisine on St. Mary's Road in St. Vital, and available for dine-in, takeout and delivery across south Winnipeg.
Korma is the oldest style of curry on this menu and the gentlest. Chicken is braised slowly in a pale gravy of ground cashew, yogurt and cream, perfumed with green cardamom and mace, with no chilli heat at all to get in the way of the aromatics.
It is the dish we recommend to families dining with young children, to guests trying Indian food for the first time, and to anyone who wants richness without any burn. Sweet, nutty and faintly floral, it is best eaten with plain naan that lets the gravy speak for itself.
Regular Guest

"Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. The naan was soft and the curries had just the right spice level. Highly recommend Desi Swag."
Frequent Diner
"Their chicken dishes are outstanding—tandoori chicken and butter chicken were both excellent. Service was quick, even though it was busy."
It is our most child-friendly curry. There is no chilli heat, the gravy is mildly sweet, and the chicken is braised until very tender.
Yes. The gravy is thickened with ground cashew. Please tell our staff about any nut allergy before ordering so we can guide you to a safe alternative.
Gently. The sweetness comes from cashew, cream and slow-cooked onion rather than from added sugar, and it is balanced by cardamom and mace.
