  • 🗹 2 tbsp oil or ghee
  • 🗹 2 medium onions, finely sliced
  • 🗹 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 🗹 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 🗹 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 🗹 Salt to taste

For the Korma Gravy:

  • 🗹 ½ cup yogurt, whisked
  • 🗹 ¼ cup ground cashews or almonds
  • 🗹 ½ cup cream (optional for extra richness)
  • 🗹 2–3 green chilies, slit
  • 🗹 1 tsp garam masala
  • 🗹 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 🗹 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 🗹 1 bay leaf
  • 🗹 2–3 green cardamoms
  • 🗹 1-inch cinnamon stick
  • 🗹 2 cloves
  • 🗹 Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Pro Tip: Marinate mutton in yogurt, turmeric, and salt for 30–45 minutes to tenderize the meat and enhance flavour.

Step-by-Step Cooking Method 👩🏻‍🍳

Step 1: Temper whole spices

Heat ghee or oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaf. Let them sizzle briefly to release aroma.

Step 2: Fry onions

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. This forms the sweet, rich base for the Korma gravy.

Step 3: Brown the mutton

Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté until raw smell disappears. Then add mutton pieces and sear on medium heat until lightly browned.

Step 4: Add spices and yogurt

Reduce heat, add turmeric, red chili, cumin, coriander, and salt. Gradually mix in whisked yogurt, stirring continuously to avoid curdling.

Step 5: Add nut paste and simmer

Stir in ground cashews or almonds and ½ cup water. Cover and simmer on low heat for 40–45 minutes until the mutton is tender. Add cream near the end for extra richness.

Step 6: Finish with garam masala and garnish

Sprinkle garam masala and chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or paratha.

Serving Suggestions 𓌉◯𓇋

  • Pair with steamed basmati rice, naan, or parathas.
  • A light cucumber raita balances the richness of the gravy.
  • Korma tastes even better when allowed to rest for 30 minutes — flavours intensify.
