Navratan Korma
This is an Indian vegetable korma with nuts, paneer cheese, and an adjustable list of vegetables. It is in a tomato-cream sauce as opposed to the usual yogurt based sauce. ‘Navratan’ means ‘nine gems,’ so choose nine of the vegetable, nuts, and paneer ingredients; you can leave out the elements you don’t want to use, or add them all so it is ‘ten gems’ if you wish.” I love this recipe as it is super easy, also it can be made as rich and fancy as you want. Personally I like my dishes to be light,...

You need to come up with something exciting, something different but at the same time it cannot be too rich, both in terms of ingredients and price. Don’t you think so? Anyways, Here’s a new recipe which you can make on a...
