Jump To Recipe Ingredients Tips
Vegetable Korma is a popular Indian curry in which boiled vegetables are cooked in a creamy and aromatic gravy of yogurt, coconut and cashew nuts based paste and sautéed onion and tomato. This curry is prepared in two different styles. In north Indian style, this curry is prepared by adding yogurt (curd) or cream while in south Indian style, coconut is added to make gravy. However, we have used both curd and coconut to make this curry.
This step by step photo recipe of Vegetable Korma curry has four preparation stages – in first stage, creamy paste of coconut, cashew nut and poppy seeds is prepared. In second stage, chopped onion and tomato are sautéed in oil, Indian spices and ginger-garlic paste and then cooked with paste prepared in first stage. In third stage, yogurt is added and gravy is cooked for few minutes. And in last and fourth stage, boiled French beans, green peas, carrot, potato, cauliflower are cooked in the gravy. Though this restaurant style Vegetable Kurma Curry Recipe may seem long on the glance, it really is a very easy to follow, doesn’t require any exotic ingredients or advanced cooking skills.

Hi, I have dietary restrictions and can't eat onions or tomatoes, is there any possible substitute for those? I'm not a good cook but I would really like to try a vegetable korma recipe and this one looks really good!

Response: Hi Jessie, you can make this recipe without onion and tomatoes.

Hi, shall we use gram masala along with it whether taste get differs?

Response: There is no need to add the garam masala powder as we have already added green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, balck pepeercorns and bay leaf for the flavor.

I am trying all your recipes everyday and all are fantastic. In this receipe, I noticed in method of gravy point 2, in the printout or in the description it is not mentioned to add peas, which I missed out later realized boiled separately. If u add the peas it will be correct. We add salt only when boiling potoato, what I observed if we add in the gravy when boiling we need to add some salt, that point is missed out. I love your all dish just love it, I become expert now by your website help.

Response: Thank you so much Nalini for pointing out the missing ingredients. I have updated the recipe according to it.
