Mutton Korma
Creamy Mutton Curry
Yes, with a tweak: crucial to ask for *no added sugar* and *no flour/cornstarch as thickener*. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Pakistani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and fragrant curry featuring tender pieces of mutton in a thick, creamy sauce based on yogurt, fried onions, ginger-garlic, and various aromatic spices. A decadent and flavorful dish, traditionally served without naan or rice.
Key ingredients
Mutton, yogurt, heavy cream/coconut cream (small amount for thickening), fried onions, ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, green cardamom, bay leaves, cooking oil/ghee.
How to make it keto
Crucial to ask for *no added sugar* and *no flour/cornstarch as thickener*. Request minimal fried onions and onion paste (as onions contribute carbs). Ensure the cream used is heavy cream, not a diluted version. Confirm no potato or high-carb nuts like cashews are added for thickening (if used, ask for less).
Watch out for
Hidden sugar, excessive fried onions/onion paste, flour/cornstarch thickeners, high carb nuts (like cashews) used for thickening in large amounts, high carb dairy (e.g., milk instead of cream).
