Korma Paste is a thick, rich paste used in cooking Indian curries. It is recommended that you make your korma paste at home instead of buying the jarred version in supermarkets. The recipe for korma paste can vary - but one common ingredient for korma paste is cashew nuts, which are used to add a rich taste and to thicken the korma sauce. Some korma pastes use poppy seeds and some use coconut as well. In addition, whole spices such as cumin, coriander seeds, and ground spices such as garam masala and turmeric powder will also be used.
