Navratan korma. There is another vegetable korma recipe that I use at home which I really like but it's not quite perfect. So when I saw this one I was very excited! Unfortunately my husband and I were disappointed.

The "gems" are the fruits, vegetables, and nuts that make up the curry.

Vegetable korma was created in imperial kitchens and served to kings, queens, and other royals during the Mughal era in India.

This is an Indian vegetable korma with nuts, paneer cheese, and an adjustable list of vegetables.
