Tips/ Notes
1) While making Korma curry, try to use sweet yogurt along with regular white yogurt. Trust me it enhances the taste. Like, if the recipe calls for 1/4th cup of yogurt take 1/8th cup sweet yogurt +1/8th cup regular white yogurt= 1/4th cup of yogurt.
2) If you are not using Shaan Korma Curry Mix, then add a special garam masala powder the same quantity as mentioned in the recipe. For that Grind , cumin, cardamom, whole coriander, mace ( joyeetree/javetri) , Jaifol ( nutmeg), fennel, clove, white/black pepper together into a fine powder and use accordingly.
3) This Kofta can be used in various recipes. Like you can try the Koftas in Korma curry style, you can use it in oriental way or even plain curry way. Either way it’s great!
