The word “Korma” comes from the Urdu word qorma, which means to braise. This dish was historically a centerpiece of royal banquets in the Mughal courts of 16th-century India. Unlike robust, red-chili-heavy curries, a true korma was designed to showcase wealth through the heavy use of expensive ingredients like cashews, almonds, cream, and saffron, creating a delicate, aromatic masterpiece.
To craft the most authentic lamb korma in Oakland, our chefs take their time. The lamb is seared over high heat to lock in its natural juices, then the heat is dropped to a bare simmer. We braise the meat for hours in a thick paste of ground cashews, yogurt, and warm spices. This slow braising ensures the lamb becomes incredibly tender while the nut-based gravy thickens into a luxurious, silky sauce.
Lamb Korma is famously mild. It is the perfect introductory dish for those who want to experience the deep, complex flavors of Indian cuisine without the fiery heat. If you prefer a kick, you can request your dish to be prepared Spicy in the online order notes!
