Korma 101
With its origins in India, korma is a dish of braised meat or vegetables cooked with cream, broth and spices to form a thick, gravy-like curry sauce. For our meat-free version, we combine sautéed mushrooms and zucchini, with coconut milk, curry spices and ground almonds. Served over aromatic Success® Basmati Rice, this is a simply stunning weeknight meal!
