Vegetarian Shahi Korma is simple and delicious dish where vegetables are cooked in spiced sauce in slow flame. This sauce is mainly made with yogurt, garlic, ginger, black peppercorns and different spices. I watch lot of food and travel shows which inspires me to cook different recipes.
Shahi means 'Royal'. From history, it appears that korma was prepared in royal kitchen with mutton or lamb. So non-vegetarian lovers, add your favorite meat and follow the recipe 🙂 This is one of the best and the tasty recipe that I have ever tried.
