Navratan Korma is a rich, creamy and flavorful dish that literally translates to nine-gem curry. The “gems” are the different vegetables and nuts that make up the curry. There are different variant of the curry and different ingredients can be used as substitutes. Here's my version, which is a true delish,
- Red Bell Peppers, Green Bell Peppers, Potatoes, Cottage Cheese
- Oil, Cumin Seeds, Salt, Turmeric Powder, Chilli Powder
- Karuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves), Punjabi Garam Masala
- Cashew Nuts and Raisins
- We will prepare two purees, one with Garlic-Onlin-Ginger and other with Tomoatoes.
- Saute the Garlic, Onlin & Ginger, with 1 tbsp oil until the Onions turns brown.
- Next add Cashew Nuts and saute for couple of more minutes.
- Let the mix cook down and give it quick mix to make thick puree.
- Along side, in a small vessel boil the tomatoes and once cool, remove the skin.
- Blend the soft tomatoes and prepare a liquid consistency puree.
- I've added Cottage Cheese/Paneer as well, which I Shallow Fried in advance,
- Finally, heat 2-3 tbsp oil, add cummin seeds; add all vegetables and saute for couple of minutes,
- Then add the onion as well as the tomato puree and cook it for 2 minutes.
- Now, add punjabi garam masala, chilli powder, turmeric powder, kasuri methi and salt to taste.
- Slowely mix the Curry and cook it for couple of more minutes, till you get rich aroma.
You can enjoy the Navratan Korma with Ajwain Paratha and/or Jira Rice for lunch or dinner !!
