KORMA RECIPE / MUTTON RECIPES - MALABAR MUTTON KURUMA

MUTTON KURUMA

My family loves  Mutto recipes very much. Especially mutton pepper roast ( kurumulakitta aatirachi) . I used to prepare mutton pepper roast whenever I buy fresh mutton. While selecting mutton for preparing any mutton curry recipe or for any mutton roast recipe , try to select tender mutton for best result. Kerala style mutton recipes especially Malabar style mutton recipes are very popular for its taste and aroma. Mutton korma or mutton Kuruma is an Indian dish which can be prepared in different taste and texture. Indian style mutton korma is entirely different from the Malabar mutton Kuruma. In Malabar mutton Kuruma , the addition of thick coconut milk or coconut mixture makes this mutton dish really special. Here I used thick coconut milk for the outstanding taste. Malabar mutton korma or Kerala style mutton korma pairs best with hit porotta or ghee rice. You can also make Beef korma or beef Kuruma following the same recipe. And can aldo add more chili powder if you prefer Indian style mutton Kuruma recipe.
