Navratan Korma

Looking for a delicious and healthy vegetarian curry? Look no further than Navratan Korma! This creamy and semi-sweet vegetable curry is a popular Indian dish that combines paneer, veggies, fruits and nuts. In fact, the nine fruits and veggies in this flavorful dish are believed to promote good health and well-being, just like the nine natural stones in a Navarathanam ring.

To make this dish even more delicious, try serving it with plain paratha, rotis, or jeera rice. And for the perfect Navratan Korma, be sure to follow these tips: steam the potatoes until they're half-cooked before adding the other veggies, don't overcook the vegetables, add pineapple chunks for a fruity flavor, and use white pepper powder instead of black pepper powder to preserve the dish's beautiful white color.

So why not give this unique blend of flavors, tastes, and textures a try? Your taste buds (and your body) will thank you!
