Mixed Vegetable White Korma
by Tarla Dalal
Chunky vegetables drowned in an absolutely flavourful white korma starring aromatic spices and a nice onion cum poppy seeds paste! The chopped pineapple is a very thoughtful addition to the Mixed Vegetable White Korma as they provide not just crunch but also a bit of tang to an otherwise creamy gravy, making it a treat to the taste buds. The vegetables show up well against the white korma base, making this dish a pretty sight to behold too.
