Deghi Quorma

Deghi Quorma-Shadiyoon wala

Benetta Lobo
Quorma is a well-known curry dish in the Sub-Continent. It is prepared with several spices both whole and ground which adds to its bold flavour. This dish is cooked in almost every Desi household. It is a very aromatic and rich dish cooked on special occassions like weddings and social gatherings. The main feature of the Quorma is it's fascinating colour and aroma. It can be cooked with Chicken, Lamb, Beef or Goat. Some people also prepare Vegetarian Quorma which is quite flavourful too.
Although Quorma is cooked at home but there is something quite special about the so-called Shaadi Wala Quorma. Infact at weddings and special occassions, Quorma will always be the highlight amongst other dishes. After much trials I have come up with this recipe which gives you the authentic commercial Deghi Quorma flavour, aroma and colour. Since I bought the mini Degh, so decided to cook the Quorma in it to get the exact Deghi flavour and it actually came out the way I wanted it to. So sharing this special recipe with you all, and I hope you enjoy the authentic Deghi Quorma flavour at home.
