Lamb Korma - Crock Pot/Slow Cooker image

This recipe is cooking as I am posting it and the smell throughout the house is terrific... You might opt to use fresh garlic & onion instead of the powdered version, as well as cheaper cuts of lamb w/ bone. And while the recipe doesn't call for it, a little curry may be a nice addition too.

Tips:

  • To achieve a melt-in-the-mouth texture, choose lamb shoulder or chicken thighs. These cuts contain more connective tissue, which breaks down during slow cooking, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
  • Enhance the dish's flavor by marinating the meat overnight in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, creating a more flavorful and aromatic korma.
  • For a creamy and rich korma sauce, use full-fat yogurt. Greek yogurt is a great option as it has a thicker consistency and a higher fat content, which contributes to the sauce's creaminess.
  • Don't skimp on the nuts and seeds. They add a delightful nutty flavor and texture to the korma. Use a combination of almonds, cashews, and pistachios for a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Finish the korma with a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of cream before serving. This adds a touch of brightness and acidity that balances the richness of the sauce.

Conclusion:

With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a delicious and comforting lamb or chicken korma that is sure to become a family favorite. The tender meat, creamy sauce, and aromatic spices come together to create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Serve it with rice, naan, or your favorite Indian bread for a complete meal that will transport your taste buds to India.
