What makes a qorma a qorma

Thin gravy in.
Glossy qorma out.

A real qorma isn't simmered, it's reduced — onions and spices cooked down slowly until the gravy thickens and turns glossy. This paste starts you two-thirds of the way there.

ThinSimmeringReducingGlossy & rich
01 Bhuna

Onions and whole spices fried down slow until deeply caramelized — the flavor base of every qorma.

02 Sear

Your meat goes in and sears in that caramelized base, soaking up color and flavor from the start.

03 Simmer

Yogurt and water go in, heat drops low, and the gravy simmers until the meat turns tender.

04 Reduce

Lid off, gravy reduces down to that thick, glossy finish a real qorma is known for.

What's actually in the jar

No shortcuts. No filler.

Caramelized onions Whole cardamom Cinnamon Cloves Fresh ginger & garlic Red chili Coriander Turmeric Garam masala

No artificial colors — no preservatives — no MSG

From jar to table

Three steps. One pot.

01Sear

Brown your meat in a little oil, then stir in the paste and cook for 2–3 minutes.

02Simmer

Add water or yogurt, cover, and let it simmer low until the meat is fork-tender.

03Reduce

Uncover and cook a few minutes more, until the gravy thickens into a glossy qorma.

Before you cook

A few things people ask

Do I need to add my own spices?

No — the paste already carries the full spice base. Just add your meat and yogurt or water.

Can I make a vegetable or paneer qorma with this?

Yes. Sear your vegetables or paneer the same way, then simmer and reduce as usual — just for less time.

How long does one jar last once opened?

Refrigerate after opening and use within 2–3 weeks for the best flavor.

Is it spicy?

It's a mild, warming heat — qorma is meant to be rich and aromatic rather than fiery.
