Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
  • Onions should not be over cooked in this korma. They should just turns pink before adding tomatoes.
  • Adding cashews give nice taste and smoothness to korma.
  • You can use fresh or frozen coconut. Do not use dry coconut as it will loose oil while cooking and korma will not taste good.
  • Mostly korma has little runny gravy but you can always keep the consistency of gravy you like.
