How to Make Korma Sauce

  1. Soak 1/2 cup almonds, 1/4 cup cashews, and 6 green cardamoms in warm water for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the soaked nuts and cardamoms. Combine them in a blender with 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add 2-4 tablespoons of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of ginger paste and 2 tablespoons of garlic paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Add a pinch of saffron strands to the pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon of curry powder (adjust to taste) and the blended yogurt mixture.
  5. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded. Garnish and serve over your favorite protein or vegetables.
  6. Serve hot with naan bread, rice, or roti.
