What is "korma"?

Korma is a rich and creamy Indian dish that is typically made with meat, vegetables, or paneer (a type of Indian cheese) that have been braised in a spiced yogurt or cream-based sauce. The sauce usually includes a variety of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, cardamom, and cinnamon, which are combined with ginger, garlic, and onions to create a flavorful base. Other ingredients such as coconut milk, almonds, or cashews may also be added to give the sauce its characteristic creamy texture. Korma can be mild or spicy, depending on the amount and type of chilli used, and is often garnished with fresh coriander and served with rice or naan bread.
