I think you’ve got the best recipes in the country keep it up give us more of your best recipes thanks!!
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! 🙂
Will really appreciate all recipes.
