Cooking Ingredients

Method

Vegetables Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the potato and carrot. Chop all the vegetables (potato, carrot, green beans, cauliflower, and peas) into bite-sized pieces.

Korma Paste Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Korma Paste

    In a blender, add the chopped onion, garlic cloves, ginger, green chilies, grated coconut, and cashews. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste. If necessary, add a little water to help blend.

  2. 3

    Add Spices

    To the blended paste, add coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Blend again until well combined.

Cooking the Korma

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large pan or kadhai, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Paste

    Once the oil is hot, add the prepared korma paste to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the oil separates and the raw smell of the paste is gone.

  3. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped vegetables to the pan and stir well to coat them with the korma paste.

  4. 7

    Add Water

    Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.

  5. 8

    Simmer

    Let the korma simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  6. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, garnish the korma with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice or naan.
