Steenbergs Organic Korma Masala Curry Powder

Steenbergs Organic Korma Curry Powder is a premium organic spice mix for making kormas. It’s a mix of 16 spices that are the flavours needed for this classic of Moghul Indian cuisine.

Korma originated from Persia, then kormas became more elaborate in the Islamic courts of the Moghul Emperors between the 16th and 19th centuries. Traditional kormas are rich dishes, using lots of expensive spices and nuts. So, cardamom, nutmeg, saffron, more spices and nuts – like almonds – are mixed into a rich sauce using yoghurt. These are used to marinade lamb or chicken before cooking.

Steenbergs Organic Korma Curry Powder is from a recipe from the kitchens of Nizam of Hyderabad from the British Colonial period.

Our Korma Curry Powder has a core of black pepper, sugar and salt. These are made aromatic with the sweet, woody flavours of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, caraway and fennel with its anise notes. Finally, we add the earthy depth of cumin, coriander, turmeric and onion, plus a little heat from chilli.
