So what exactly is korma? It's really just another name for a curry and can be found in a variety of cuisines from Indian to Asian. In this recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz, the korma goes vegetarian for a slow simmered pot of scrumptiousness. Dried spices such as garam masala and curry powder add rich flavor without a lot of time or effort. Vegetable Korma makes a great side dish or serve it over rice to make a filling entree.
