Korma Masala Powder
Korma masala powder is a special mix of spices used to give Korma dishes their authentic taste. It's a blend of various flavorful ingredients like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves that make your food smell and taste delicious.
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Almonds
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 pieces Black cardamom
- 2 pieces Mace
- ½ piece Nutmeg
- 2 pieces Cinnamon sticks medium
- ½ tsp Cloves
- 12 pieces Green cardamom
- 1 tbsp Cumin seeds
- 2 tbsp Coriander seeds
- 1 tsp Fennel seeds
Instructions
- Take a frying pan on your gas stove. Heat it on a low flame. Now put 8 pieces of almonds, 1 tsp of black pepper, 2 pieces of black cardamom pods, 2 pieces of mace, ½ a piece of nutmeg, 2 cinnamon sticks of medium size, ½ tsp of cloves, about 12 pieces of green cardamom pods, 1 tbsp of cumin seeds, 2 tbsp of coriander seeds and 1 tsp of fennel seeds into the pan.
- Dry roast all the spices for about half a minute until they lose all moisture. Turn off the flame of the gas stove and let the pan sit for a while for the spices to cool off completely.
- Now, take a clean and dry grinder and pour the spices into it.
- Grind them into a powder. Never mind if it is coarse.
- Now, add 2 tbsp of Kashmiri red chili powder, 1 tbsp of red chili powder, 1 tsp of turmeric powder, and 1 tbsp of salt and grind them all together once again to get a finer powder.
- Transfer the powder into a bowl and the korma masala powder is ready for use.

Notes
- I recommend using fresh spices always to make korma masala powder at home. This will add the natural and rich flavor of the spices after you grind them.
- Roast the whole spices carefully until they start changing their color. I always roast them on a low flame so as not to burn the spices. It offers the perfect richness and depth.
- To achieve the desired texture of your masala powder, ensure the roasted spices have cooled down completely before you transfer them to the grinder.
- I suggest grinding the spices intermittently if you grind for a couple of times to have a smoother powder. This will prevent condensation due to heat generated by the rotating electric motor.
- Always use a dry spoon to scoop the powder to add to your dishes. This will prevent introduction of moisture to the powder and extend its shelf life.
