Method
- Heat ghee in a non-stick pan, add green cardamoms, cinnamon, mace and cloves, mix and sauté till fragrant. Add onions, mix and sauté till light brown.
- Add ginger-garlic paste, mix and saute for 1 minute, stirring continuously to avoid the masala from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add mutton cubes, mix well and saute on a high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add coriander powder, red chilli powder and salt, mix well and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add yogurt, mix and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and mix well.
- When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 40-45 minutes or till the mutton is cooked and tender.
- Add cashewnut paste and garam masala powder, mix and cook, on medium heat, for 5 more minutes.
- Add fresh cream, mix and simmer for 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer into a serving bowl, garnish with coriander sprigs and serve hot with paranthe.
- Chef’s tip: You may garnish Shahi Korma with raisins and almonds and cashewnuts to make it extra rich.
