Korma (noun.) is a type of curry made with the combination of nuts (mostly cashew nut paste or almond paste) and cream. The same combination is used to create a Makhani soup in which all herbs and spices are added to enhance the creamy texture but the curry made for Makhani is spicier (due to extra chillies).
It has a flowing texture, while, Korma dishes are heavily spiced with whole spices and herbs and have a creamy texture where the flavours are not hot. Korma has a combination of cream, sweet, and salt. It looks rich yellow and buttery in texture.
