How to make Bahawalpuri White Quorma Recipe

 

METHOD:

For Royal Masala 

To make a royal paste, grind all the ingredients either in a mortar and pastel or by using an electric grinder. Keep aside 

For Quorma 

In a saucepan heat the oil and butter; cook the onion paste till light golden. 

Add chicken and cook till it changes its color. 

To this add Ginger Paste, Garlic Paste, and White Karahi Masala. Do a little bhunai using some water to prevent the masala from burning.
