- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup warm milk
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1 tbsp oil
Prepare to embark on a culinary journey that will tantalize your senses and leave you craving for more. Start by sautéing the aromatic trio of onions, garlic, and ginger in a pan until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and sauté until they release their juices, creating a tantalizing base for your korma.
Next, introduce the mixed vegetables to the party, allowing them to cook until they reach their desired tenderness. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt and an array of spices, including coriander, cumin, garam masala, and red chili powder to your desired heat level. Blend in the cashew nuts, adding a delightful creaminess and richness to your korma.
Gently fold the spiced yogurt mixture into the sautéed vegetables, ensuring every morsel is coated in the luscious gravy. Simmer the korma, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify. Adjust the seasoning with salt to your liking, and garnish with fresh cilantro for a vibrant pop of color and aroma.
But the feast isn’t complete without the perfect accompaniment – the pillowy soft and irresistible Naan bread. Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Create a well in the center and gradually add the warm water, warm milk, yogurt, and oil. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll them out into oval shapes. Cook the naan on a hot tawa or griddle, brushing with ghee or butter for that signature charred flavor and aroma. Serve the piping hot naan alongside the creamy Vegetable Korma, and prepare to be transported to a realm of pure culinary bliss.
Indulge in this heavenly combination, and let every bite transport you to the vibrant streets of India, where flavors dance across your palate, and memories are etched in the most delectable way.
