Mutton Korma

Mutton Korma is a perfect blend of mutton, richly palatable gravy enriched with yoghurt, nuts, and spices. The dish is famous all across the nation but also a globe-trotter for all those foodies who are seeking a wanderlust taste. This old Delhi style recipe is to look out for, where traditionally these are made in large degh or handi and served with an amazing naan. The anatomy of the dish has been depicted in this video where the meat from the raan is highly advised to use, along with the birista paste which is a key essential paste while making the brown gravy, the beaten yoghurt, hand full of cashews, and almonds to give it a delectable and enriched flavour, lastly the hand full of selectable robust spices. The dish is best enjoyed with delightful Indian breads, - Butter Naan, Khamiri Roti, Tandoori Roti, and many more
