    Hi friends, today one different tasty and delicious curry recipe Nilagiri Mutton Korma. Neelgiri Mutton Korma. Nilgiri Motton Korma. Chili Coconut Mutton Korma. Hot & Spicy Green Mutton Korma. Greenish Motton Korma. Chili Blend Motton Korma. So many name have this curry but taste same...... Now don't ask me why Nilgiri Korma is in Green Color & not in blue!!! Nilgiri literally means Blue Mountain! I happen to taste this interesting korma at Nilgiri, Top slip & Yercaud. All three fascinating hill stations! First thought its some hill staion special food! They said its their regional speciality! Almost through out western ghats...its found in every star hotel menu! On using fresh herbs from the hills, it gets this delectable green color! The recipe is too spicy and hot! Even the spices were got right from the hill's plantations! Lavish use of green chilies and coconut, make it hot + sweet! Sounds yummy, right! Well...the original recipe was prepared from goat/lamb!  The recipe is said to have originated from Nilgiri tribes(Badugans)...who make their curry using only fresh green herbs! Most of their recipes have turned out as restaurant special today!  They are known for their Nilgiri tea and 'Nilgiri Mutton kuruma'. In the olden days even before the masala sachets made their way to the village petty shops, these people would have found a unique way to make their healthy Mutton recipe. Later on, even star hotels master it and earned a lot from this delicious curry. Though this kurma seems more green than our chili powder version, the taste remains more classic than any other one. Here is the recipe for their famous 'Nilgiri Mutton kuruma'.
