Method 

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