Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Heat ghee in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
2
Add the sliced yellow onion and fry until deeply golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
Aproximativ 12 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir frequently to ensure even browning and prevent burning. This step is crucial for the korma's flavor and color.
3
Remove about half of the fried onion with a slotted spoon and set aside for later use as a crispy garnish.
Aproximativ 1 min.
4
Add the mutton pieces to the pot with the remaining onion and increase heat to high. Sear the mutton until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: Browning the mutton adds depth of flavor.
5
Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Aproximativ 2 min.
6
Reduce heat to medium. Add the cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaves to the pot.
7
Add the red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat the mutton evenly with the spices.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: If the spices start to stick, add a tablespoon of water to prevent burning.
8
Gradually whisk in the plain yogurt, a little at a time, stirring continuously to prevent it from curdling.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the yogurt is at room temperature before adding to prevent curdling.
9
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the water. Stir well.
Aproximativ 2 min.
10
Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the mutton is fork-tender.
Aproximativ 1 oră 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more water.
11
Once the mutton is tender, stir in the garam masala and kewra water (if using). Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the gravy to thicken slightly.
Aproximativ 5 min.
12
Garnish with the reserved crispy fried onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
Aproximativ 1 min.
