Vegetable Korma over Basmati rice is an easy meal that brings the authentic tastes of India to your kitchen with this simple and savory recipe. Quick & Easy, Indian Food takes you on a dinner adventure in your own home.
This recipe is one of the only ways I like eating cauliflower, in addition to my Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower Rice and my Cauliflower Fried Rice.
Vegetable Korma just might be the tastiest way for you to explore the true flavors of Indian cuisine at home. If you’re anything like me, you love Indian food, but usually aren’t adventurous enough to make it from scratch. Well, not to worry. You can take a tour of India without ever leaving your kitchen with the help of Patak’s! Open the whole spice, Korma spice paste, and Korma base simmer sauce packets, and India awaits.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to understand and experience a culture is through its food. Patak’s is your tour guide to India – taking you through the customs and culture of India – all through the lens of food. I must admit that I don’t eat vegetarian dishes too often. It’s not that I’m that much of a meat lover, but I have it in my brain that the main dish must have some kind of meat component. Now, you can easily add chicken, shrimp, or any other kind of meat to this recipe to use as your protein and it will indeed be delicious, but I wanted to enjoy this dish as vegetarian, so I chose raw cashews as my protein. Not only did the cashews add a ever so sweet crunch to my meal, but they were an outstanding addition to the flavorful sauce. This Vegetable Korma recipe comes together through a super easy 3-step process that starts with whole spices that unleash their flavor while getting heated over a bit of oil. If you’ve never smelled the combination of cinnamon, star anise, green cardamom and cloves, well then you have something extraordinary to look forward to! Next comes the paste. The amazing smell wafting up from the paste and the whole spices will get you salivating. Finally, you add the sauce that has a coconut base and the flavorful combination of onion, ginger, garlic, and ground cashews. You can use any vegetables you’d like in this Vegetable Korma recipe, which makes it extra easy because you can often use what you have on hand, but I chose to throw in equal portions of cauliflower, green beans, carrots, and zucchini.
