  As being a born non vegetarian , I am so use to having and preparing mutton and chicken dishes with lots of variation and this is one of them. Shahi mutton korma is cooked in spices on low flame to get that much needed aromatic flavor, cream adds a smooth a creamy texture which gives it a royal touch. Though some add whole spices and some powdered spices ( garam masala) to shahi mutton korma , I sometime add whole and sometime powdered , depends but in both the ways it would not hamper the taste, trust me. You can replace mutton with chicken and make shahi chicken korma with the same , simple , easy recipe. Some time back I was very busy with my work , so had ordered from near by restaurant Shahi mutton korma , and to my surprise it had chopped ginger garlic to give a better flavor, I simply loved it, so I also started adding chopped ginger garlic and paste both, hereafter. ( though before I only used to add ginger garlic paste)
