Tips

  • When cooking a korma, you want it to be pale, so cook ingredients until translucent.
  • You can pad out the sauce with water because there is so much flavor and spices.
  • The dish freezes well and can be cooked ahead of time.
  • You can blend either roasted or raw cashew nuts with green chili for the paste, or use ground almonds and add whole cashew nuts.
