I was looking for a good vegetable korma recipe myself because everytime I tried making this korma, there would be something missing and it wouldn’t taste the way we get in restaurants. Finally my search was over when I stumbled on Kerala Kitchen and Maneka’s recipe for Spicy Vegetable Korma gives the exact taste of South Indian korma you get in restaurants as a side for malabar parotta, appam, rotis or biriyani. I make this recipe often and I get the exact same result. The dish has an aromatic sauce mixed with a combination of vegetables and the rich sweetness of coconut milk thats absolutely delicious. Try it and you might enjoy it as much as we did.
Ingredients:
Vegetables (Carrot, beans, cauliflower, green peas, potato) –2 cups
Onion –1 big (finely chopped)

Ginger –1″ piece
Ginger-garlic paste — 1 Tsp

To Grind:
Coconut — 1/2 cup
