"A wonderfully tender lamb dish adapted from "A Taste of Asia" cookbook. A great curry that has become a favourite in our household. Korma's are not "saucy" curries. Prep time doesn't include 1 hour marinating."

I tried lamb Korma in many indian restaurants in Australia, in Perth, Sydney & Melborn, it was my dream to learn how to cook it and to be exactly like the once i taste before, i start to make my searches, and i found this recipe first the photo looks exactly like the once i like, and not fatty, sec. All the ingredients i have it already, and very easy steps.. and oh yes it tast so yummy better than the Indian restaurant, my family loved it... thank you so very very much

This was a very good recipe! Only substitution I made was crushing a dried red pepper w/o the seeds instead of using red chile flakes. At first I was concerned the dish lacked flavor but once all the yogurt is absorbed the flavor came through! Thanks for the recipe!
