- If you don't have garam masala on hand, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. You can also use a pre-made curry powder in place of the garam masala.
- Be sure to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your taste. If you like your food spicy, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
- Serve the lamb korma over rice or with naan bread. You can also serve it with a side of yogurt or raita.
