a ready made Chicken Korma hotter, what to add that won't spoil it?

What spice does it have in it - can you add more of what is already in the sauce?

It's only packet sauce, usually I make my own, but not tonight, . wondering if chilli powder might heat her up a notch, there's nothing worse than a too mild curry, if you're going to eat curry, then at least have some heat I say

Ginger is a nice way to add to some zing to most things.

No idea if you're joking? It registers nil on the hot factor at ours.

chilli is what gives curry it's heat.
Or use pepper.

A korma is normally a very mild curry, so while you could add a little chilli don't overdo it or you'll throw the balance off.

Perhaps serve an authentic indian chilli pickle as a condiment on the side for that bit of oopmh?

Chilli pickle would be my choice although a lot of authentic Indian chilli pickle can be somewhat "sharp as in bitter" as well as hot.

The curry powder/ mix used in the korma can be substituted for a hotter commercial brand curry powder. I'd fry in oil few minutes to release flavour when frying the chicken then add your packet sauce and let it reduce to get a thicker richer flavour when the oil forms.

Thanks all, I added a bit of chilli, but it still wasn't the right heat for me. Some good some ideas for next time
