Official Cooking Instructions
To prepare a traditional Korma curry using a standard 1kg batch of meat (chicken, beef, or mutton), follow these steps outlined by Shan Foods:
Fry the Onions: Heat 1 cup (175 ml) of oil or ghee in a pan. Fry 3 medium finely sliced onions (300g) until they turn light golden brown. Remove them from the oil, let them cool, and crush them coarsely (do not grind into a smooth paste).
Sear and Simmer: In the same remaining oil, add 1 kg of meat pieces, 1.5 cups (300g) of whipped plain yogurt, and 1 packet of Shan Korma Mix (pre-mixed with 1/2 cup of water). Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 20 to 30 minutes.
Tenderness & Gravy: Add 2–3 tablespoons of julienned ginger and 1/2 to 1 cup of water to establish your gravy. Cover the pan again and simmer on low heat until the meat is completely tender.
Final Thicken: Stir in the crushed onions that you set aside earlier. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the oil separates and rises to the top. Serve hot alongside fresh naan or basmati rice.
