Recipe by “Indian” Cook Book written by Harmeet Hooren-Sagoo
This winter is quite possibly one of the coldest Australian winter I’ve ever experienced… not that I’ve experienced that many winters, this will only be my 5th year here… but the weather is cold enough to make me long for some serious comfort food. The “Korma” is one of the more milder Indian curries – but not as mild as Butter Chicken – but definitely milder than the likes of Vindaloo and Rogan Josh, etc.
I have to admit I’ve added some “special” ingredients into this recipe to make it more likeable by my Australian husband with a weaker tolerance to spices compared to Asians… aka a tablespoon of peanut butter and some brown sugar for added sweetness, but other than that, you may stick to the original recipe below! Curries are objective anyway, feel free to do whatever you want to make it according to your taste preference. My curry ended up being absolutely delicious – and I especially chose lamb instead of chicken because lamb just has quite the amazing flavour and texture. It’s our favorite meat! Enjoy 🙂
