What is Korma?

Korma is a dish believed to have originated on the Indian subcontinent with roots that go as far back as the 16th century. The word korma comes from a Hindi word meaning “braise,” which refers to the classic preparation method in which meat and/or vegetables are braised with yogurt or stock. There are many different styles of korma, but common spices include coriander and cumin. In the United Kingdom, many curry houses serve a mildly spicy korma with a thick sauce often made from almonds, cashews, coconut, or other nuts. The following is our inspired vegan version similar to those served in the UK.

How to Make our Korma-Inspired Tofu Cauliflower Curry

Our twist on korma begins with roasting cauliflower and tofu with curry powder and salt. Not only does this ensure loads of flavor, but the texture is ideal: tender cauliflower with golden edges and firm tofu with slightly crispy edges. Next, we make the sauce with sautéed onion, garlic, and ginger, plus curry powder, tomato paste, and salt. Blending that mixture with cashews and water creates a smooth, creamy, dairy-free sauce with bold flavor. The final step is to add the curry roasted cauliflower and tofu and cook for just a few more minutes. We hope you LOVE this curry! It’s:CreamyRichComfortingSaucyQuick & easy& SO delicious!
