Grind your own. Seeds only.

Thanks for trying. This is the recipe of my later mother actively followed by my sisters.

You can half the oil once you have fried the onions as thinly sliced light brown onion (on high flames) are only possible in excessive quantity of oil.

Yes definitely a great recipe, thanks so much for sharing this valuable recipe Mostar

I did take the oil out but it was still a bit too much .. perhaps the fat from the meat could have added to the oil content in the korma
but a brilliant recipe no doubt ..

^ does this aroma masala use ground spices or whole ones? How do you grind green cardamoms?

Cherry, do you have a small spice mixer in the food processor? or the coffee grinder?
you can easily chuck in the required whole masala’s and then give it a good run in the grinder.. they will turn into fine powder within seconds ..

Regards cardamom, I chuck then in the grinder in whole pieces and then after a first quick run, open the grinder and pick the cardamom skin out , then carry on grinding the mixture until it turns really fine ..

The best results are achieved if you mill bigger quantities , then you can store it and use it for other dishes .. usually lasts me about a month.. though aroma is best when done fresh. but its really hard to do just half tsp for a dish ..

I just ground stuff then and there for the aroma masala. I didn’t have green cardamoms though so had to do without that. But turned out brilliant nonetheless.

Oh I also decreased the amount of oil in it.

P.S. For the thin onion slices .. I tried the way khatti posted from yt.. was really easy and the slices were paper thin.
