Our Korma curry, representing the color of moonlight, is of Persian influence and is inspired by the Awadh region of India. It is a smooth and creamy masterpiece that infuses hints of star anise and cloves in a buttery coconut base to punctuate any meal. It is Rupen's Korma Curry Sauce.
We have used our Korma curry as the base for this recipe. Korma can be green, white, or red. Adding pistachio makes it green, and adding paprika makes it ready. The key to Korma is that it is a nut-based sauce.
