White Mutton Korma: A Perfect Feast Recipe Idea

Rozlin loves to cook healthy food for her loving family, and she enjoys sharing her recipes with her readers.

Mutton Korma

Korma is a spiced curry of meat or chicken marinated in yogurt or curd. White mutton korma is a variation of the traditional red version. Red mutton korma is slow-cooked in ghee or oil with fried onions, spices and yogurt. White mutton korma, on the other hand, is slow-cooked in ghee or oil with tender onions, whole dry spices, yogurt, nuts paste and cream. The aroma of kewda water and cardamom enhances the flavour of the white gravy. Korma is best served with basmati rice, roti, naan or paratha.

I prepared this gravy on Eid day—we hosted a dawat (feast) for our relatives and friends. Everyone loved this rich creamy white mutton gravy, and I am sure your family will love it, too.
