Korma

Korma is a type of curry that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is typically made with a yogurt- or cream-based sauce, and often includes nuts and dried fruits. Korma is often served with rice or naan bread.

The exact origins of korma are unknown, but it is thought to have originated in the Mughal Empire. Korma was first mentioned in a cookbook from 1670, and it is believed that the dish was created during the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb. Korma quickly became a popular dish at royal courts, and it eventually made its way to the homes of commoners.

Korma is typically made with chicken, lamb, or beef, but it can also be made with vegetables. The meat or vegetables are cooked in a yogurt- or cream-based sauce, and the dish is often flavored with spices like cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Korma is usually a mild dish, but the amount of spice can be adjusted to taste.
