Vegetable Paneer Korma
Vegetable Paneer Korma is a rich luxurious curry dish made with mixed vegetables, paneer and some Indian spices. There are 2 variation of korma, one is North Indian version and another is South Indian version. The below recipe is a North Indian version but you can make South Indian style Vegetable Kurma at home with easy step as well. Vegetables are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with coconut, cashews, white poppy seeds and a whole lot of spices! This vegetable korma tastes great with paratha, poori, dosa!
This North Indian version recipe is flavorful and mildly sweet. It is made with assorted vegetables, cream, yoghurt, a lot of spices and a few herbs. There are both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian versions of preparing this dish. This recipe is a delicious vegetarian version of Korma.
I usually make this dish with 5 to 6 veggies. You can choose your choice of mixed veggies like cauliflower, carrots, green peas, corn kernels, capsicum (bell pepper), french beans, potatoes, baby corn are a good choice. And korma (kurma) is a dish with yogurt, cream, nuts and seeds paste or a coconut base. It is such an easy recipe and yet it is rich, royal and delicious Indian gravy which can be served in any festivals or parties.
