    What is Korma I do not think we can find that here in Mauritius. Can it be substituted?

      Korma Curry Paste is a mild Indian Curry paste. You could try Red curry paste although it will be a lot spicier and is more of a Thai tasting curry. I hope that helps! 🙂

    Howdy, There’s no doubt that your web site might be having internet
    browser compatibility problems. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, if
    opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!

    Aside from that, great site!
