Navratan Korma curry
Navratan Korma curry
This is an Indian vegetable curry with nuts, paneer cheese and an adjustable list of vegetables. It is in a tomato-cream sauce as opposed to the usual yoghurt based sauce. 'Navratan' means 'nine gems,' so choose nine of the vegetable, nuts, and paneer ingredients; you can leave out the elements you don't want to use, or add them all so it is 'ten gems' if you wish.

- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Place mixed nuts in the pan and cook and stir until golden brown and then set aside.
- Stir onion into the pan and cook until soft. Mix in garlic and ginger pastes and cook 1 minute. Stir in tomato puree, cayenne pepper, turmeric, coriander and garam masala. Pour in water, and mix in sultanas, carrots, capsicum, beans, peas, and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Heat remaining oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat and cook the paneer on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Place in a bowl with enough hot water to cover for about 2 minutes to soften, then stir into the pan with the vegetables.
- Stir milk and cream into the pan with the vegetables and paneer. Bring to a boil, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
