Mutton White Korma

Mutton White Korma is an Indian curry with burst of flavors from the whole indian spices and the mutton that we add to it.

It’s subtle in flavor, taste and appearance when compared to other commonly made spicy Indian mutton curries. It may not seem as spicy as it looks because of the color but the green chili & white pepper in this recipe contributes for the required punch invisibly.

Pairing Suggestion:

This curry pairs well with Ghee rice & Indian breads such as Wheat Paratha, Lacha Paratha or a simple Chapathi/ Roti tastes best with this.

Notes:

Thai green chillies are used in this recipe. I used three chillies which in turn yields a mildly spiced curry.

You can adjust the spiciness by adding or cutting down the number of chillies depending on your preferred spice level.
