MUTTON KORMA


When I made chicken korma I knew I had to try out another korma recipe, thus came mutton. Korma is a dish originating in the Indian subcontinent, consisting of meat or vegetables braised with yogurt (dahi) or cream, water or stock, and spices to produce a thick sauce or glaze. The korma style is similar to all other braising techniques in that the meat or vegetable is first cooked briskly or seared using a high heat, traditionally using ghee, and then subjected to long, slow cooking using moist heat and a minimum of added liquid. Mutton curry is delicious served with plain rice, a salad, and Raita. If you thicken the gravy, it tastes just as good with hot, freshly made Chapati

INGREDIENTS

2 kg Mutton
4 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 Onions
2 Tomatoes
2 Tablespoons Garlic Ginger Paste
1/2 Teaspoon Red Chili Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Turmeric
2 Teaspoons Ground Coriander
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
2 Teaspoons Ground Garam Marsala
2 Bay Leaf
