Navratan Korma is a rich, creamy, delicious recipe from North Indian. ‘Navratan’ is a Sanskrit compound word meaning ‘nine gems’ or ‘ratnas’.
Navratan Korma recipe was created during the Mughal era in India to be served to kings, queens, and other royals during the. Navratan Korma was named after the nine courtiers so the key 9 ingredients represented the courtiers in the king’s courtroom. The key 9 ingredients are a medley of mixed vegetables, dry fruits and fresh fruits cooked in a rich cashew nut and onion gravy.
If you are a fan of rich, creamy and delicious Indian vegetarian recipes with a hint of sweetness, then Navratan Korma is your go-to dish. Cooked in rich cashew gravy with various vegetables, this dish is a sweet and savoury delicacy served widely in Indian restaurants.
The combination of fruits, nuts, cream makes Navratan Korma a slightly sweet dish. It has this sweet creamy taste and is not spicy at all. I absolutely love the pineapple here and I would recommend not replacing it a fruit which elevates the recipe with its juicy, sweet flavour.
Navratan Korma goes well with Indian breads like Onion Coriander Tandoori Roti, Plain Naan, Lachha Paratha or Chilli Garlic Naan.
