Kormas are mild, rich curries that have many diverse ingredients and may vary in colour and taste. Think of the great Mughal kings and their dancing girls, music, poetry, statesmanship – do not let your mind dwell on average takeaways. This wonderful recipe must be treated with respect, cooked in a leisurely fashion, and served with Pulao Rice or Chapattis, Naan or Parathas to accompany it.
