Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Mutton
- In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
- Add the mutton pieces and coat them well with the marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Step 2: Prepare the Curry Base
- Heat ghee or oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and fry until golden brown. Remove half of the onions and set aside for garnish.
- Add green cardamoms, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf to the remaining onions in the pan and sauté for a minute.
Step 3: Cook the Mutton
- Add the marinated mutton to the pan and cook on high heat for 5-7 minutes until the meat is browned.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Add Creamy Elements
- Stir in the almond paste, cashew paste, and poppy seeds paste. Cook for another 10 minutes.
- Add fresh cream, milk, garam masala powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, fennel powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 15-20 minutes until the mutton is tender and the gravy is thickened.
Step 5: Final Touches
- Add the saffron milk, chopped coriander leaves, and mint leaves. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the korma rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve

- Garnish with the reserved fried onions, chopped almonds, and cashews.
