I love Korma and have tried out several recipes, this is definitely the best one so far, really rich and creamy. It will be added to my old battered stained recipe book as my definitive Korma recipe from here on.

Would you suggest any other nut-free butters to replace the almond butter?

  Yes, you could use sunflower seed butter to replace the almond butter.
