Aromatic and Creamy 

Korma curry is traditionally not a spicy curry; it is a mild and sweet curry with spicy notes and a creamy sauce. This Beef Korma Curry is packed with traditional ingredients and flavors. What’s more, it has a rich, creamy, and silky texture that complements the tender beef strips perfectly. For this recipe, a korma curry spice mix is used, but you can create your own with a simple combination of spices such as ground masala, cumin, and turmeric. Sweet potatoes are added to this curry for some natural sweetness and a thicker texture. If you are wanting a vegetarian korma, simply take the beef out of this recipe. Crushed nuts usually contribute to the crunchy texture of a korma. This recipe includes crushed almonds, but oftentimes cashew nuts are used too. 

Simpler than You Might Think! 

While intimidating at first, this Beef Korma Curry is really quite simple to make. First, the meat is browned and set aside. Spinach is de-veined and cooked in crushed garlic and ginger until fragrant. The korma paste or spice mix is sautéed in along with the sweet potato before adding the cream. The beef strips, spinach, and almonds are added into the curry, and the mixture simmers gently. At this point you can add some water if the curry is too dry, and add some more spices if it is too bland. 

Serve this delectable korma with steamed basmati rice and a garnishing of fresh and fragrant coriander. This dish is a popular classic for a reason, and will surely stand out from the crowd!  Prepare to be indulged…
