Hi Rawnak, How are you doing? I hope everything is fine in your end. I just want to thanks for your e-book. It is wonderful and very handy. I don’t have to go to online to see the recipe. I printed it out and keep it in my kitchen self. You also glad to know that I have cooked mutton korma for 100+ people in one occasion. I followed your recipe but for got to add sugar and milk in the end. But the meat was liked by everybody and finished in 20 mins. Some of the guest even didn’t get chance to test. Whoever ate, they came back for some more. I used lamb instead of mutton. I cooked the korma in open fire. I marinated the meat overnight and added some korma masala with coriander powder. Anyway, that was a big success for me. I never cooked for 100 people. The event was actually Family Fall Fun Day at school. Thank you very much for your recipe. Regards-Zamena
Mighty interesting blog !!! Keep up the good work 🙂
Apu, can I use black poppy seed for this korma or do I need to use white poppy seeds? Where can I get white poppy seeds- is it available at coles/woollies?
You need to use white poppy seeds. White poppy seeds are available in Indian grocery. Instead of white poppy seeds you can use cashew nuts paste. Thanks.
Hi Rownak,
Thanks for the recipe. I cooked mutton korma for our lunch today & it came out really well. I followed all your instructions except for sugar – used half the amount. The taste of the gravy was heavenly! Thanks a lot !

What I should say, I have sugar tooth so I have used more sugar(may be)!! I am a fussy eater but I love my Mutton korma. Thanks for sharing your experience with my recipe.
With regards,
