You will find it the most in packaged foods after chana masala and palak paneer. Just like Kerala does too in tourist destination.

    FAQs

    Is a korma curry hot?

    No, it is mild in spices.

    What is vegetable korma made of?

    MIxed vegetables in coconut paste.

    What does Korma taste like?

    Veg Kurma recipe is very mild in spices. Hence, you will find it slightly sweet. You can enjoy this with fried poori. It also works great with Malabar parota or the Kerala parotta. It is a great change from all the spicy food. Some light vegetable curry like avial ,thoran and rice is all you need for a yummy menu. Most non-veg curries are extremely spicy in South Indian cuisine. However, this is a great stew. It is perfect for a sick tummy. End your meal with a delicious creamy payasam or a coconut burfi and sleep well. While seviyan kheer is dairy based, coconut burfi can be made vegan.

    Storage

    Store it in refrigerator unto 2 days, although I feel eating fresh is best. Always heat the leftovers.
