Topped with sliced almonds, the full, rich, meaty flavor in shahi gosht korma stands out in this slowly simmered boneless dish of tender braised lamb. Savory garlic, coriander, red chili powder and ginger accent a creamy yogurt-based sauce with fenugreek leaves. Served bubbling hot in a metal dish suspended over a candle flame, it looks like a mini-dunk tank for torn pieces of pillowy naan bread. The aromatic basmati rice speckled with cardamom pods is fluffy and moist.
