    About the recipe

    Having studied in Lucknow, I have had the opportunity to relish some of the best cuisines such as Awadhi cuisine, Mughlai cuisine et al. Known for their royal flavours and generous use of exotic ingredients, Mughlai cuisine still makes me smile from ear to ear.

    Korma is usually a mildly spicy dish that is usually prepared using meat and curry of nuts, yogurt et al. However, I did something different, instead of using meat, I used eggs and created Mughlai Egg Korma.

    The aroma of Mughlai Egg Korma is indeed heavenly and rightfully so, it tasted ambrosial as well. Succulent eggs in the luscious gravy made using almond, saffron, kewra essence and the choicest ingredients is bound to make Mughlai Egg Korma a delightful treat.

    For all the eggetarians, Mughlai Egg Korma is indeed an inviting feast. Savour it with Naan or Phulke, Mughlai Egg Korma tastes nothing but flavourful. So, note down the recipe for Mughlai Egg Korma and let your family anticipate a yummy surprise today, okay?

      Chanced upon your blog page 2 days back and what can I say. Tried 2 recipes, Punjabi Bhindi Masala and Achari Turai with good results. On my way to prepare Mughlai Egg Curry. I have to make a choice between Black Pepper or Black Cardamom and I plan to go with the former. A correction needed? Best, Chan

        It’s black pepper only. You can use black cardamom too.
