This elegant, Mughal dish, rich with cream and nuts and perfumed spices, has, in Britain, been largely relegated to the status of generic “mild curry”; suitable for children and those not “up to” the chilli in a tikka masala, say. But if you habitually skip over it on menus, do give the sophisticated korma another try – it’s far too good for the kids to keep to themselves.
