Instructions:
1. Engage the meat or vegetables in the yogurt, ginger-garlic sticky stuff, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Use it to sit for at most 30 minutes, first longer, to allow the flavors to enter.
2. Warm oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the cut onions and fry them until they fit golden brown. Take out half of the fried onions from the pan and set them away for sauce.
3. In the same pan, add the full spices (cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and bay leaf). Cook for a minute or two until they relieve their smell.
4. Add the marinated meat or vegetables and green chilies to the pan. Cook on average heat till they are wet and the yogurt is well integrated.
5. Add the cashew nuts and almond cream to the pan and mix well. Cook for a few more minutes.
6. Pour in the fresh cream and gram masala. Mix the whole thing organized and let it boil on truncated heat for about 20-30 minutes, or until the meat is caring (less time for vegetables). You may need to add a tiny amount of water if the gravy is too thick.
7. Mix in the saffron milk and boil for another 5 minutes.
8. Garnish with the cooked onions and chopped coriander leaves.
9. Serve your Hyderabad Korma hot with nan, roti, or steamed rice.
Enjoy the gorgeous and aromatic flavors of this Hyderabadi Korma! You can adjust the level of hotness and creaminess to suit your taste by changing the amount of red chili gunpowder and cream used.
