Badami Gosht Korma

Badami Gosht Korma is a delicately flavored mutton dish, that was traditionally slow cooked to infused the wonderful spices into the meat along with rich almond paste. A delicious dish imbibing badam or almond as a thickening and flavoring agent, this is commonly prepared during the festival of Eid ul Fitr, and can be enjoyed with Laccha Paratha, Butter and Garlic Naan or Fried Onion and Dried Fruits Pilaf.

With cooking techniques evolving with time and less time at hand for cooking, this dish is now made in pressure cooker which reduces the cooking time a lot yet keeping the taste and texture quite comparable to the slow cooking process.

Along with being creamy, Badami Gosht Korma is luscious as well.  During my college days, my local friends often used to bring Badami Gosht Korma for lunch hour. We literally waited for them to bring Badami Gosht Korma so that our group could relish it with joy.

Later on, I learned its recipe and started preparing it as well. I am sure the recipe of Badami Gosht Korma would interest you as well, that is the reason why I have shared it with you all, do read it and make this delicacy soon:
