Korma Masala

Korma or Qorma masala is a blend of Chilli powder, Haldi powder, Coriander powder, Cumin powder, and garam masala in varies ratio accrding to region and community. Delhi korma is high in chilly and redish in colour, while South Indian qorma is mild in pungency and browinsh in colour. However Pakistani korma is redish in colour and not too much chilly (pungency). Korma flavour is important, it is produced by cardamom green (used whole pods) and yoghurt. If fresh yoghurt (sweet) is used it will produce less flavour, if one day old yoghurt(sour) is used it will produced better korma flavour and aroma and taste (slightly sour). Black pepper whole and cloves whole produce extra aroma and taste.

Vegetable korma is a dish that is available all over India, but it is very interesting to note how the seasonings and flavorings change from region to region. Here is the south Indian version of korma that makes an excellent 'masaledar' side dish for rice, puris, appam, etc.
