GREEN SAFFRON’S MILD KORMA (SERVES 4-6)

with saffron & vanilla bean – a creamy, fudge-like sweetmeat eaten all over India particularly on special occasions like the ‘Festival of Light’ – Diwali and family poojas. They’re a real treat. I like to eat burfi whenever I can! They remind me of Dad’s return home from trips away, opening up the cardboard boxes and diving into the sticky, sweet delights. This version is really quick and easy to make, goes well with chai, coffee, family and friends!

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander and serve with Indian Basmati rice

    1. ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTIONS:

      Try replacing the lamb with 2lbs of chicken breast cut into mouth-size pieces, but remember to only cook it for about 30 minutes otherwise the chicken will be really tough. Fish could also be used instead of lamb. Monkfish is recommended as it has a firmer texture. Again, remember to only just cook the fish. This could take as little as 15 to 20 minutes.

    WHY NOT TRY

    This recipe has been tried and tested by the Green Saffron Masaalchi and is pretty much guaranteed, but if you want to change the quantities of a couple of ingredients go for it….experiment and enjoy your cooking. With Green Saffron spices you can’t go wrong!!!
