The pot may be fixed with batter amid the last phases of cooking.
The korma can make utilization of a strategy called bagar: later in the cooking, extra flavors are blended with warmed ghee and after that joined with the sauce framed by the braising; the container is then secured and shaken to discharge steam and blend the contents.
