Method
- Clean and cut mutton into medium pieces. Marinate with the curd, half the turmeric, and half the red chilli powder for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed kadhai or deg. Add cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaf; let them sizzle for a few seconds till fragrant.
- Add sliced onions and cumin seeds; saute on medium heat, stirring often, until the onions turn deep golden brown - this builds the korma's base flavour.
- Add ginger-garlic; saute for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add chopped tomatoes and the remaining turmeric, red chilli powder, and coriander powder. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes soften and oil separates from the masala.
- Add the marinated mutton along with the cashew nuts. Sear on high flame for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until the meat changes colour.
- Add enough water to cover, cover the pan, and simmer on low flame for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mutton is fork-tender and the gravy is thick enough to coat the meat.
- Uncover, adjust salt, and simmer a few more minutes if the gravy needs thickening.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
