Korma is not one particular Indian curry, but an Indian recipe method of slow cooking to braising.
Essentially a wide range of dishes could be described as being a “Korma.” We’ve deviated from restaurant-style Kormas by keeping our keto Indian recipe version nut-free.
Lamb’s shoulder is an ideal cut for Korma, it is layered with fat and connective tissues. The tissue breaks down into tender morsels when cooked low & slow.

Keto Lamb Korma Ingredients
- 4 pounds of Lamb Shoulder, cut into a large dice
- 1-inch knob of Ginger
- 6 cloves of Garlic
- 1 small Onion
- 3 ounces of Ghee
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- 2 tablespoons of Garam Masala
- 1 ½ tablespoon of Ginger, ground
- 1 ½ tablespoon of Coriander, ground
- 1 ½ tablespoon of Cumin, ground
- 2 teaspoons of Kashmiri Chili Powder
- 2 teaspoons of Turmeric, ground
- 1 cup of Heavy Cream
- 1 cup of Water
- 1-2 teaspoons of Salt
- 1 teaspoon of White Pepper
- 11 ounces of Full Fat Greek Yogurt
How To Make Keto Lamb Korma
- Place the ginger, garlic, and onion into your food processor and blend until very finely chopped.
- In a small bowl, measure out the garam masala, ground ginger, coriander, cumin, Kashmiri chili, and turmeric, and stir to combine.
- In a large saucepan place the ghee and heat over low heat.
- Add the onion mixture and cinnamon stick and saute over low heat for 10-15 minutes until translucent and beginning to caramelize.
- Increase the heat to medium and add the diced lamb. Saute until browned.
- Add the spice mixture and stir to coat the lamb.
- Add the cream and water, stir well, and bring the saucepan to a simmer.
- Drop the heat to low and half cover the saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 2 hours. The sauce will reduce just below the meat. If the saucepan is becoming too dry add another ½ cup of water.
- Add the salt, pepper, and yogurt and mix well. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes before removing it from the heat.
- Serve with our Indian or cilantro low-carb rice.
