Create the Creamy Gravy
Simmer and Finish the Korma
Replace ghee with a neutral oil, curd with plant-based yogurt (like coconut or cashew yogurt), and fresh cream with coconut cream or cashew cream.
Omit the cashews and poppy seeds. Use melon seeds (magaz) or sunflower seeds to create a creamy paste instead.
Add 1 cup of cubed paneer along with the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of simmering for a protein-rich version.
Increase the number of green chilies to 2-3 and add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the garam masala.

Curd often curdles if added to a very hot pan or if not stirred continuously. Always lower the heat to a minimum before adding the whisked curd and stir constantly until it is fully incorporated into the masala.
The classic combination includes carrots, beans, peas, potatoes, and cauliflower. However, you can also add bell peppers, sweet corn, mushrooms, or broccoli. Just adjust the cooking times accordingly.
Leftover Vegetable Korma can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The gravy will thicken, so you may need to add a splash of water or milk when reheating.
