One of the most famous dishes in the North Indian style restaurants is Navratan Korma, as the name suggests it is made with nine kinds of vegetables and fruits apart from the regular spices. The taste is just a great combo of all these ingredients, so somewhat tangy, somewhat sweet and somewhat chilly, a perfect Indian curry for everyday meal or a party menu. I added paneer (cottage cheese), pineapple, peas, corn, carrots, beans, makhane, cashew nuts and raisins as my navratan’s. Navratan Korma goes well with Indian breads like paratha or naan. The ingredients may seem heavy and a lot of work, but it is actually pretty simple to make this dish, so let’s see the Navratan Korma Recipe and make it any time you like.
