Navratan Korma

Description

Navratan Korma is a rich, creamy, and mildly spiced North Indian curry, known for its royal roots and luxurious taste. This vegetarian delicacy combines nine gems—a vibrant mix of seasonal vegetables, fruits, and nuts—simmered in a smooth, aromatic gravy made with cashews, yogurt, and mild spices.

Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures—from the crunch of cashews and soft paneer cubes to the subtle sweetness of pineapple and richness of ghee. Ingredients like carrots, peas, bell peppers, and green beans add natural color and nutrition, while the delicate use of cardamom, cumin, and saffron elevates the dish with deep, aromatic undertones.

Unlike spicy curries, Navratan Korma delivers a gentle warmth and luxurious creaminess, making it ideal for those who enjoy flavorful food without intense heat. Moreover, the mild sweetness from raisins and fruits adds a unique contrast that sets this curry apart from other Indian dishes.

Perfectly paired with naan, roti, paratha, or steamed basmati rice, Navratan Korma is not just a meal—it’s an experience that reflects the richness of Mughlai cuisine. Whether you’re planning a festive feast or simply want to enjoy something indulgent, this dish makes an excellent centerpiece on any vegetarian spread.
