Lamb Korma

"This tasty korma calls for patient cooking. The spicing can be kept to a minimum. However, one can add a maximum of 20 spices like almonds, cashewnuts, pine nuts and cream to make a rich and delicious meal on festive occasions."

  1. This is a good, easy and extremely flexible and forgiving recipe. I made two batches, in one I used leftover rare leg of lamb and in the other I used leftover chipotle-pineapple ham and a bag of frozen cauliflower. Because I used meat that was already cooked I reduce the final cooking time considerably. I look forward to making this in a more traditional way at some point.
     
  2. Thank you for the recipe, I tried it and it was great. My husband and I loved it, I made a pulao of the leftovers. It was great will make it some other time.
     
  3. This has really good flavor. I would actually kick up the spicing a little , as even I, who is heat-phobic found it a bit bland. The flavors are really good overall, though. I had some trouble with the sauce burning on the bottom of my pan when it thickened, so if I make this again, I think I will try baking it in a covered dish instead of doing it stovetop. Quite tasty and tender meat (even though I didn't simmer it for quite an hour because of the burning). I will make this again, but will play with the spices and method.
     
  4. Very nice and easy recipe to make.
     
  5. This was a great recipe. The meat was so nice and tender. Next time, I think I will chop an tomato and saute it with the onion for a different flavour. Thanks Charisma!
