Replace mutton with bone-in chicken pieces. Reduce the cooking time accordingly; chicken will cook in about 30-35 minutes on the stovetop or 2-3 whistles in a pressure cooker.
For a richer, more luxurious gravy, add a paste of 8-10 soaked and blanched almonds or cashews along with the yogurt.
Increase the amount of Kashmiri red chili powder for a more vibrant color and slightly more heat, or add a slit green chili for a sharper spice note.
Create a vegetarian version using paneer and mixed vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and peas. Pan-fry the paneer and vegetables before adding them to the gravy and reduce the cooking time significantly.
Mutton is a high-quality protein source, essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
The use of yogurt (curd) provides beneficial probiotics, which support a healthy gut microbiome, aid digestion, and boost immunity.
Spices like ginger, turmeric, and cloves used in the korma are known for their potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help combat oxidative stress.
Coriander leaves are packed with Vitamin K, Vitamin C, and antioxidants. Mutton provides iron, zinc, and B vitamins, crucial for energy production and red blood cell formation.
