                                                                NAVRATAN KORMA [ NINE GEM ] RECIPE

Navratan korma is made using nine different vegetable ,fruits and nuts.I have used veges as per my taste.

INGREDIENTS FOR FRYING

• Potato – 1 big cubed
• Carrot – 1 big chopped
• Beans chopped – ½ cup
• Cauliflower chopped – ½ cup
• Cooked Green peas – ½ cup
• Capsicum cubed – 1 cup
• Paneer cubes – ½ cup
• Makhana [lotus seeds] – ½ cup [optional]
• Mushroom – 1 cup
• Oil to fry

METHOD

Chop the potato and soak it in salty water for some time.

Chop the cauliflower and soak in little turmeric + salt + water.

Clean, wash and pat dry all the above veges except paneer and mahkana and chop them .

Now one by one fry [deep fry or shallow fry] all the veges including the makhana and paneer separately till they are cooked.

The quantity of the veges will shrink after frying.

Keep aside .

NOTES

You dont have to cook for a long time as the veges are already cooked.

Instead of ghee you can use butter.

The curd should be fresh and not sour or it will give sour taste to the gravy.

You can avoid tomato and increase the quantity of onion.

Add veges as per your taste , even the quantity of veges can be of your choice .

Add water as per the consistency you want.

Instead of plain water you can add stock to enhance the flavour [veg or non veg]

You can also add baby corn or corn .

Instead of frying you can boil and cook the veges but fried veges gives more taste thats why I make this just once in a mnth.

Capsicum has to be added in the end .

You can also add soaked poppy seeds and soaked almonds while grinding the cashew paste for more richness.

You can garnish with fried dry fruits.

You can fry the onion + tomato and then grind it.

For dark colour you can fry the onion till dark brown in colour and then make a paste of it.

Instead of sugar you can add pineapple cubes or pineapple syrup.
