Curries don’t always have to be spicy. This Korma is gentle on the taste-buds but full of flavour… and creamy white goodness!

  • 2 tbsp garlic & ginger paste

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Korma paste by dry-frying the paste ingredients in pan over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool.
  2. Heat the ghee in a pan and fry the cardamoms and cloves for about 30 seconds.

  5. Season with salt and serve.
Titli's Tips
The sauce for this korma should be thick and creamy. If it isn’t, allow to cook a little longer with the lid of the pan removed. Garnish with coriander and serve with coloured pilao rice for a very attractive-looking dish.
