Shahi Navratan Korma is a delicious combination of 9 vegetables in a mildly spiced, creamy gravy. You can use vegetables of your preference. When I want to give my family a vegetarian treat, I whip up dishes that are pretty much an overdose on vegetables like Baked Creamy Vegetables, BisiBeleBath, Pav Bhaji and Vegetable Biryani.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped capsicum
1 cup french beans
1 cup caulifower florets
1/2 cup green peas
1 cup carrots
2 medium sized potatoes cubed
2 onions, finely chopped
4 tomatoes, pureed
4 green chillies, chopped (Adjust to your taste)
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1 tsp coriander powder (dhania)
1 tsp whole spice powder (garam masla)
1 cup fresh cream
1/2 cup chopped, roasted cashews and almonds
2 tbsp oil
Method:
-
Head oil. Add cumin seeds, green chillies, and ginger-garlic paste. Saute.
-
Add the onion and fry till they turn slightly golden.
-
Add the tomato puree, salt, and spice powders. Stir to blend in everything. Then add the vegetables. Mix well, cover and simmer on low heat. Pour half a cup of water. You can add some more later on if the vegetables haven’t cooked or the korma appears to be dry.
-
Once the vegetables are done, add the fresh cream and nuts. Give it a stir, turn off the flame, and keep covered.
Serve garnish with coriander leaves or nuts.
