Tips & Secrets

  • Slow-cooking on low heat is the secret to achieving the traditional 'Danedar' (grainy) texture of Korma.
  • Always use ghee instead of oil for the authentic royal aroma and richness.
  • Whisking the yogurt and adding it on low heat prevents it from splitting in the gravy.
  • The addition of kewra water at the very end provides the signature Mughlai fragrance.
