mutton korma

Creamy sheep dish

Mutton korma is a South Asian dish of lamb or goat braised in a rich, mild sauce made with yogurt, cream, and aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and coriander.

The dish originated in Mughal cuisine and remains popular in Indian and Pakistani cooking.

Despite the name, mutton in South Asian contexts typically means goat rather than sheep: We ordered mutton korma and garlic naan.
