Ghee Rice and Korma is a delicious combo and easy to make at home.
The korma sometimes spelt korma, qorma or kurma is a popular dish all over India. Made with a
unique blend of spices, yoghurt, nuts and sauces, korma can be vegetarian or non-vegetarian.
Korma has its roots in the Moghulese cuisine of Northern India. It is a characteristically creamy
and silky Persian-Indian dish which can be traced back to the 16th Century and the Moghul
insertions into the North-Western parts of India and modern day Pakistan. (Source: Wikipedia)
The Korma we make in South India is a good accompaniment to rice, chapathis or dosas.
