Curiosity.
Korma literally means braised. This dish is typical of Northern India, particularly of the cuisine of the Moghul Empire which commissioned masterpieces like the Taj Mahal and spread Persian knowledge and flavors.

Korma can also be prepared with only vegetables.
Its ingredients are enhanced by the aromas of spices and left to marinate in a yogurt and cream sauce, which makes this dish particularly enjoyable.
