Mutton Korma is a royal dish from Mughlai cuisine where meat is gently cooked in whole spices, barista, cashew paste, and aromatics. Traditionally slow-cooked, the korma develops a deep, layered flavour profile—spicy yet balanced, rich yet subtle. Mustard oil brings depth while kewra water adds its signature fragrant finish.
