KORMA



Korma image

This is the first Indian dish I ever made and it was perfect! The spices gave it the perfect flavor and it wasn't too hot. I served it over basmati rice, but I'm sure it would also be good with naan bread or even by itself. There's not meat in this dish but it's very filling with the rice and I'm sure it would be delicious with tofu or cubed chicken added as well.
