Top tip
Instead of using pre-ground spices, toast whole spices like cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and whole cardamom pods in a dry skillet until they become aromatic. Allow them to cool slightly, then grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder. Freshly toasted and ground spices will elevate the flavor profile of your korma, providing a richer and more vibrant taste compared to using pre-ground spices.
