Cook the Korma Gravy
Simmer with Eggs
Finish & Garnish
Replace the eggs with 250g of paneer cubes. Lightly fry the paneer until golden before adding it to the gravy at the simmering stage.
Use a mix of vegetables like carrots, peas, beans, and potatoes instead of eggs. Parboil the vegetables before adding them to the korma.
For a more royal 'Shahi' flavor, add a pinch of saffron soaked in warm milk and a few drops of kewra water (pandan extract) along with the fresh cream at the end.

One serving of Safed Anda Korma (containing 2 eggs and gravy) has approximately 400-450 calories, depending on the amount of ghee and cream used. It's a rich dish, best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal.
It can be part of a healthy diet in moderation. It's rich in protein from eggs and healthy fats from nuts. However, it is also high in calories and saturated fat due to ghee and cream. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of ghee and use low-fat cream or milk.
The gravy usually curdles for two reasons: adding cold curd to a hot pan, or adding it on high heat. Always use room temperature, well-whisked curd and add it on the lowest possible heat while stirring continuously. Similarly, do not boil the gravy after adding cream.
Yes. For a vegan version, replace eggs with firm tofu or boiled potatoes. Use plant-based yogurt and a vegan cream alternative (like cashew cream). Replace ghee with a neutral vegetable oil.
Absolutely. You can prepare the gravy up to the point before adding the eggs and cream. Cool it down and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, gently reheat the gravy, add the boiled eggs, and finish with cream.
