CURRY VS KORMA
Although this blog post title mentions the word “curry,” it’s not actually a curry. It’s similar to curry but not exactly the same. Traditional curries, such as Chicken Curry, Beef Curry, and Mutton Curry, are typically tomato-based. Korma, on the other hand, is yogurt-based.
WHICH FISH TO USE IN THIS KORMA?
I used catfish but you can use any kind of fish like Tilapia, Salmon, Cod, Shrimp, or even Mahi Mahi.
