Korma Recipe and Seasoning Mix 1.76 oz (50g) - Spice Powder for Traditional Meat in Yogurt Sauce - Suitable for Vegetarians - Airtight Bag in a Box

I have always been a fan of restaurant korma, and it's taken years for me to figure out how to make it at home. This mixture was pivotal in me getting it right, finally. The instructions on the box, are helpful, but not what I would recommend you do for home cooking. First, it tells you to use the whole box, and I guarantee that is way too much for 2 or 3 people, the aromatics will be incredible, but it will be too spicy-hot to eat. You have to measure out all of your ingredients carefully, it's very easy to prepare way too much. I like Navratan shahi Korma: Green raisins, cashews, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, cut green beans, cilantro (topping), and paneer. You start out with fried onion as a base, but for one, two or three people, you don't have to use a whole onion, half, up to whole is ok, but half is milder. I don't use meat usually, but chicken cubes and chicken broth is ok to add (last.) I most often use one can of whole coconut milk, and about 1/3rd to 1/5th of the powder in this package. Add it slowly and carefully and taste as you go. I've also made it with whole milk plain yogurt, in that case you may want to add a tablespoon of sugar. Add all the vegetables that need time to cook first, let them simmer gently in the sauce to cook. Hope this helps! This spice mixture is perfectly balanced and delicious.

My family loves this brand of seasoning and Korma is one of our favorites!

Shan makes really good curry mixes. They are HOT for southern US tastes, and you might want to use about 3/4 of the spice packet the first time.

Love it!! Since not a fan of too spicy, I just use a fraction of the amount in about a pound of meat.

Worth it

I've made several batches of chicken korma with these spices and the results are wonderful. I'm eating the left overs right now!

Looooovvvvveeed it

This spice mix is terrible. I like spicy and hot food but this one has way too much heat and it overpowers any other flavor in there. Using less of the mix did not help as it is still too hot and the other flavors are gone. Will go back to making my own...

Love the spices from Shan. Enhances flavour and taste of food. Useful for non-veg dishes.

Only one box

The best one

I liked this korma curry masala. However, I found that the recipe called for way too much butter, and I added more yogurt to dilute the butter. There was too much floating on top, and I'm someone who likes butter. I didn't use meat for this dish - I substituted chickpeas. I don't think that really changed anything; in fact, it probably reduced the amount of fat in the dish. The actual taste of the spice mix was amazing. The cardamom really shines through. For that, this mix is worth a try.
