Hope you all had a very lovely weekend. Well, I’d a very busy one, and guess what I was doing. Yes, whipping up some incredible dishes in my kitchen. I should say, the weekend proved to be a smashing success. And that means, I’ve a few recipes in my draft folder, waiting just for you!
To make the lamb korma, start by frying up some chopped onions and spices. It’s just like you’d make a classic curry. Then the lamb
goes in. Finally, stir in yogurt for some creamy goodness.
My verdict: It’s amazingly simple to make and delicious, you’ll want to make this every single day!

Ingredients
- 300 g lamb cut into 4 cm pieces
- 1 large onion roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ a stick of cinnamon
- 1 dried red chilly broken into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon red chilly powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup Greek style yogurt
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoon oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium flame. Add onions and fry until softened. Now add in cinnamon, bay leaves, and dried red chilly. Fry again until fragrant.
- Throw in ginger paste and garlic paste. Fry for a few seconds.
- Now it’s time to add the ground spices (ground cumin, ground nutmeg, garam masala and red chilly powder) Fry again for a few seconds.
- Next up, throw in the lamb pieces. Fry, stirring occassionally, for 3-4 minutes. The idea is to get the lamb pieces well coated in the spices and start the cooking process.
- Then, mix yogurt in ¼ cup water. Add yogurt mixture in the curry and give it a good stir. Season with ground black pepper and salt. Mix again.
- Cover with a lid, and let it come to boil. Now reduce the flame, and simmer until sauce thickens, and the lamb pieces are well cooked.
- Alternatively, you can make lamb korma in the oven. To do that, you have to transfer the curry to a preheated oven after seasoning with black pepper and salt. Then slow cook at 160 degree Celsius for 1 – 1 ½ hours.

What type of red chili and red chili powder? Should it be kashmiri, Deggi Mirch or other?
Rose Mary George says
You can use any kind of red chilies & chili powder depending on the heat level you like! 🙂
Kim says
Can this be frozen
Rose Mary George says
Yes
Diane T says
If I use 1 kg of lamb, does it mean I need to multiply the ingredients by 3X? Going to try this recipe soon!
Rose Mary George says
3x spices would be too much for the curry, you can use the korma paste (recipe here: https://nishkitchen.com/korma-paste/) which is perfect for 1kg lamb.
Holly says
What else do you use then? Just the paste and 1kg of lamb? Do you have a recipe using the paste and lamb?
Rose Mary George says
Yes, you can also try https://nishkitchen.com/indian-chicken-korma-video/. Just replace chicken with lamb. The cooking time may also vary.
Karen Bee says
The lamb korma recipe was full of flavour and easy. I will definitely be making it again. Thank you Nish for sharing!
